My first time here and probably won’t be returning.

Enjoyed the event for the second year. However, Wave 1 was too overcrowded and a potential health @ safety issue for weak swimmers. You need to sort this, why not have more waves?

I thought this was a really well organised event and the location is great for the city & fans to support. The swim exit could have been wider, this got very congested and busy. On the run the steeps and slope aren't a nice feature this could be an alternative route and was longer than 5K.

What - A - Day!!! LOVED every second!!! Was dreading the swim as it was in the dock. But have to be honest once I was in I was a happy little bunny - especially I swam my fastest ever in a wetsuit!! The bike was flat, and gave the impression of a fast course - even for a slow fart like me!!! The run was also flat and scenic out along the beach. The finish line - as always with Activity Wales Events was amazing as was the bling (the main reason for doing it!) This event has the honour of being the first event where I have purchased my race photos I am smiling in each one as I genuinely enjoyed every second! So much so that i'm in for 2024, well got to beat that swim time now!!!

Wave 1 was way overcrowded and fairly uncomfortable until the first turn buoy. Struggled to exit the water quickly and just had to be patient and joined the queue!

It was my first sea swim event. Can’t say I liked the salt water so I’ll stick to lake swim events. haha. Apart from that, an amazing event and was organised really well. Amazing race organisers and they were super friendly. Great race for first timers or anyone chasing a PB as it was all flat. Bring a cap for the run though, it was brutal in that sun with no shade. lol.

Wonderful event. My first Tri and definitely not my last. The event organisation was impeccable and the atmosphere infectious. Helpful, encouraging and friendly marshals and officials. Thankyou all at Activity Wales and UWTSD for making my first Tri so special :)
