Player's essentials

To ensure you know what else you need to equip yourself with and to help you avoid forgetting anything when packing for the competition, we present a list of items that may be essential for your participation. Your gear may be more or less extensive, but we invite you to check out our suggestion:

Swim

  • Triathlon suit / swimming suit
  • Swim wetsuit – When the water temperature is below 14°C (for a 56.5km distance) or 16°C (for 112.99km), the wetsuit is mandatory. However, it is highly recommended for higher temperatures as well!
  • Swimming goggles
  • Nose/ear plugs – if you usually need them
  • Wetsuit remover – we do not recommend using oils or petroleum jelly as they can damage neoprene wetsuits
