You’ll make history by being part of the first-ever triathlon swim in Marina Bay, which boasts one of the world’s most iconic and stunning city views. The freshwater 2km swim will set off in a rolling start format from the start pontoon near the incredible Helix Bridge. Large marker buoys will guide you around the point-to-point swim, which heads under the Benjamin Sheares Bridge towards the southeast before turning around and back under the bridge. You’ll then bear left past the ArtScience Museum before reaching transition in the shadow of the Marina Bay Sands hotel.

With a usual water temperature of 28°C it’s almost certainly going to be a non-wetsuit swim.
