  3. Hi Samsul,

    The swimming is done in a normal 50m Olympic sized pool. Total number of participants is 150, seeded by time and set off every 15 secs fastest to slowest.

    For more details on how the swim is conducted please check out a post on the wall of our Facebook event page:
    https://www.facebook.com/events/500170140040439/

    Any sort of bike can be used as long as it is not electric bike. If you plan to use fixie bike, please make sure you have brakes.

    2. Dear Samsul,

      Thanks for your support! You can use any stroke in the swim. You don't necessarily have to swim freestyle.

    1. Dear CP,

      We are only accepting manual registrations for triathlon at the moment as the numbers registered are too overwhelming thus we had to suspend our online registration. You can email me at chinchin.tan@revel.asia for manual registrations.

      The cutoff time is 3 hours after the start of your swim. The swim is wave start, seeded by your 800m swim time. Fastest swimmer to slowest swimmer.

      You can check out our FB event page for more details on the swim format:

    1. Leo Loo, I am so sorry. The way the event is managed is to set off triathletes by 800m swim time. Unless you swim the exact same time as your friend, then you will not be able to just take his or her spot.

  11. Hi Chin Chin,

    Thanks for your prompt reply.

    Mean there is no overtaking on swim course? or we have to stick to the timing set off?

    Thanks.
