Swim & Run

In the organizer's words:

On Saturday, May 24, the 11th edition of "swim & run" will take place at the Wellenfreibad Reutlingen and the adjacent sports park. For this reason, the swimmers' pool will be closed to the public from 09:00 to 13:00. You can swim in the diving, wave and non-swimmer pools without restriction.

Start

There is a start in starting groups. This means that a maximum of seven athletes start at the same time in each of the eight 50m lanes. The lanes are divided according to swimming time.

Swimming

Swimming takes place in a heated 50 m sports pool (Reutlingen Markwasen outdoor pool). Wetsuits are not permitted!
Please note Realistic assessment of your own swimming performance with the registration.

Running

You will run on a turning point course in the Reutlingen outdoor pool and the adjacent sports park. Approx. half of the course will be run on grass (firm ground) and a bark-gravel track, the other half on tar.

Transition zone

There is only one transition area. This is located after the swim exit in the outdoor pool. To ensure that the race runs smoothly, it is helpful to memorize the transition area. Race numbers must not be worn during the swim, but must be put on in the transition area.

Lap numbers

Please inform yourself in good time about the number of lanes to be swum and the number of laps to be completed in the respective competition. Each participant is responsible for covering the distance themselves. When swimming, there will be a sign before the last two lanes to be swum. Shortening the course will lead to disqualification. Please follow the instructions of the helpers.

Timekeeping by transponder (Important!)

The time will be recorded using a transponder. This must first be attached to the neoprene Velcro strap provided and then to the ankle. It does not matter whether the left or right foot is chosen. If the transponder is attached to the wrist, for example, it cannot be timed and cannot be listed in the results list. Lost transponders will be charged at 15€/transponder to the competitor. The transponders will be collected by the organizer at the finish area. If this does not happen, or if the race ends prematurely, the transponder must be handed over to the organizer.

Relay teams

The transponder is the "baton". It is worn regularly by the swimmer and handed over to the runner in the transition zone, who must also wear it regularly on their ankle. An area for the relay handover will be designated in the transition zone, which must be used.
