Event Day Walk Through
Join our Tri Coach Shalyse on Saturday for an event day walk through.
Learn where you rack your bike, enter the water, transition to bike and run/walk and most important where you finish!
Shalyse will be starting these sessions from Transition - which is the main carpark at Raumati Beach (outside the Waterfront Bar) at 12pm and 1pm on Saturday the 21st of February.
Come along, get familiar with event day and get any last minute questions answered.
Wednesday Ocean Swims
Swimming in the open water can be a bit nerve racking if you have never done it before.
Even if you have, it is great (and safe) to swim with a group!
These two Wed evening swims will get you confident and familiar with the course. The buoys will be out so you can practice swimming out to them and getting your bearings. Surf Lifesaving will also be present.
Cost is $5 per session per person. Please bring cash.
Meet outside The Waterfront Bar/Raumati Beach Carpark. Please arrive by 6:15pm to register and be ready to go by 6:30pm sharp! A KWT team member will be there to watch over gear and the lovely Di will take you for the swim session.
2026 dates: 11th and 18th of February.
