Set in the grounds of Kings School, the pool based swim is 8/16lengths of the shallow pool which only goes to 1.2m deep so ideal for those nervous or weak swimmers. The cycle is on roads towards Farley Mount, with the novice competitors completing one lap, and sprint competitors completing 2 laps. This is a must event for your calendar.
The Swicle will follow the same swim and cycle route as the Sprint Triathlon.
The cycle section is one of our toughest for first timers but still manageable on a mountain or road bike.
Run for both children and Adults is on a safe off road route around the school pitches.
With spectator numbers always high this is a very satisfying and motivating race.
This event is a wave start which means only 20 competitors at a time set off from the pool.

The swim takes place in Kings’ School pool followed by a ride which takes you out passed the glorious grounds of the Royal Winchester Golf club, towards Farley Mount before ascending up the Romsey Road back to the school. The run is a lapped run around the school grounds and this year has excellent spectator points, for a motivating finish to your event.
