With categories for children 8-16yrs\, youths & Adults as well as a scootathon for 2-7yr old siblings. \n\n\n\nIt all begins with an Open water lake swim\, followed by a run circuit on pathways all within the Sandwell Country Park. All the excitement in a great location! \n\n\n\nThis Event has been run for many years as a Triathlon (swim/bike/run) but to encourage more into the sport following Covid\, the Event is being run as an Aquathlon (same swim/run course but no cycle segment) with the option of “swim only” for 2026. \n\n\n\nRace Format\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is an aquathlon (swim + run)\, rather than a full triathlon; there is no cycling leg for 2026. The format also offers a “swim only” option. \n\n\n\nRace Options / Categories & Distances\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are races for different ages / ability categories. Most races involve a swim in open water (the Swan Lake)\, followed by a run\, with a transition in between. Transition includes a 60m section over tarmac. \n\n\n\nRaces and Distances\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSwim/RunAdult 400m \nRace CategoryAges / NotesSwim DistanceRun DistanceTerrain & Other FeaturesAdults (Short)Adults400m swim4 km flat/gravel runOpen water lake swim; run is flat/gravel;transition 60 m on tarmac; aid stations\, distance markers etc.\n\n\n\n\nSwim Adult 400m Swim+Transition ONLY\nAdults (shorter)Adults400m swimN/AOpen water lake swim; transition 60 m on tarmac; \n\n\n\n\nSwim/RunAdult 750\nAdult 750Adults750m swim5 km runOpen water lake swim; run is flat/gravel;transition 60 m on tarmac; aid stations\, distance markers etc.\n\n\n\n\nSwim Adult 750 Swim+Transition ONLY\nAdult 750Adults750m swimN/AOpen water lake swim; transition 60 m on tarmac; \n\n\n\n\nSwim/RunTriStar 1 (9-10yrs)\nTriStar 110/11 yrs on 31 Dec 2026150m swim1.2 km runOpen water lake swim; run is flat/gravel;transition 60 m on tarmac; aid stations\, distance markers etc.\n\n\n\n\nSwim/RunTriStar 2 (11-12yrs)\nTriStar 211/12 yrs on 31 Dec 2026250m swim1.8 km runOpen water lake swim; run is flat/gravel;transition 60 m on tarmac; aid stations\, distance markers etc.\n\n\n\n\nSwim/RunTriStar 3 (13-14yrs)\nTriStar 313/14 yrs on 31 Dec 2026300m swim & 2.4km runOpen water lake swim; run is flat/gravel;transition 60 m on tarmac; aid stations\, distance markers etc.\n\n\n\n\nSwim/RunTriStar Start (8yrs)\nTriStar Start8 yrs on 31 Dec 202650m swim & 600m runOpen water lake swim; run is flat/gravel;transition 60 m on tarmac; aid stations\, distance markers etc.\n\n\n\n\nSwim/RunYouth\nYouth15/16 yrs on 31 Dec 2026400m swim4 km runOpen water lake swim; run is flat/gravel;transition 60 m on tarmac; aid stations\, distance markers etc.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Contacts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign-up for Event\n\n\n\n\n\nExternal Links\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBritish Triathlon\n\n\n\nTriathlon England\n\n\n\nWorld Triathlon\n\n\n\nSwim Manager Login\n\n\n\nBritish Triathlon Login\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollow Us\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacebook\n\nInstagram\n\nMail URL:https://sandwellaquatics.org/event/2026-sandwell-open-water-aquathlon/ LOCATION:Swan Pool – Sandwell Valley Country Park CATEGORIES:Triathlon ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sandwellaquatics.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/swan-pool-lake-view-2.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Sandwell Aquatics Club (Triathlon)":MAILTO:triathlon@sandwellaquatics.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260708T203000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260708T223000 DTSTAMP:20260325T211753Z CREATED:20260325T211753Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260325T211753Z UID:6944-1783542600-1783549800@sandwellaquatics.org SUMMARY:Sandwell A V Solihull Men DESCRIPTION: URL:https://sandwellaquatics.org/event/sandwell-a-v-solihull-men-3/ LOCATION:Sandwell Aquatics Centre\, Londonderry Ln\, Smethwick\, B67 7EW\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Water Polo END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260709T203000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260709T223000 DTSTAMP:20260325T211823Z CREATED:20260325T211823Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260325T211823Z UID:6952-1783629000-1783636200@sandwellaquatics.org SUMMARY:City of Coventry Men B V Sandwell B DESCRIPTION: URL:https://sandwellaquatics.org/event/city-of-coventry-men-b-v-sandwell-b-2/ LOCATION:Alan Higgs Centre\, Allard Way\, Coventry\, CV3 1HW\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Water Polo END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260712T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260712T170000 DTSTAMP:20260711T114747Z CREATED:20260423T211626Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260711T114747Z UID:7200-1783843200-1783875600@sandwellaquatics.org SUMMARY:2026 Final Sprint Showdown DESCRIPTION:Meet Details\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n00Days00Hours00Minutes00Seconds\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Description\nJoin us for an exciting summer swimming competition designed to inspire fast racing\, great competition and a brilliant meet‑day experience.
