TRAINING AND PREPARATION


Every registered swimmer receives access to UltraSwim 33.3's Preparation Programme. A structured 16-week training plan, detailed open water safety guidance, nutrition advice, and a private swimmers' community where you can connect with fellow participants, affiliate coaches and share your journey. Whether you are an experienced open water swimmer or completing your first event of this distance, we have built the tools to get you ready.

A progressive 16-week training plan calibrated for the 33.3km distance, designed for swimmers of all levels. Weekly volume targets, key sessions, and taper guidance built in.

Comprehensive open water safety guidance covering sighting, cold water acclimatisation, feed station protocol, and what to do if conditions change. World class safety operations on every edition.

What you eat before, during and after each stage makes a significant difference. Our nutrition guidance covers race day fuelling, hydration strategy, and how to practise your feed plan in training.

Technique guides covering open water specific skills: bilateral breathing, efficient sighting, drafting, and pacing over multiple days. Small improvements in efficiency add up over 33.3km.
Our network of affiliate coaches specialise in preparing swimmers for the 33.3km distance. Whether you prefer one to one sessions, group training weekends, or a residential swim camp at one of our event locations, our coaches understand what the race demands and how to get you ready for it.
