Overview

About this challenge

Many triathletes reach a point where the bike and the run have given all they can, and the water is where the next challenge lives. UltraSwim 33.3 turns swim fitness into a single sport goal: 33.3km over four days in warm water, with full support. This hub covers the move from triathlon to endurance swimming and where to start.

Going deeper

From three sports to one

Triathlon builds a broad endurance base across swim, bike and run. Focusing that base on swimming alone lets you go deeper into one discipline, chase a bigger distance and enjoy the water without transitions. UltraSwim 33.3 gives that focus a clear and epic goal.
