Aquathlons combine the individual disciplines of swimming and running. Aquathlons are great fun, and a good introduction to the sport of triathlon. They are also excellent training for both swimmers and runners.

Enter each race individually by contacting the race organiser, or visit the race website to print off an entry form. Your results for each race will be forwarded to the STA who will calculate your points for the series. Series rankings wil be displayed on the STA website. The cost of each race will normally be £3.00, please confirm with the race organiser.
First in each category in each race will be given 100 points. Points for other placings will be calculated as a % of the winner's time, so the closer behind the winner you are, the more points you score. Your 4 best results will be used to give you a series ranking, but remember that at the the series final in Stirling on the 9th October your points will be multiplied by 1.5 so it is important that you do this race.
