The event
Sunrise over Whitmore Bay.
The hooter goes and the beach erupts. SWYD is Barry Island's sprint triathlon — the sea, the island, the crowds on the prom — wrapped into one short, sharp, unforgettable morning.
First timers to podium hunters
Everyone finishes a hero.
Whether it's your first triathlon or your fiftieth, the finish chute sounds the same. Loud.
Explore the course
Three legs.
One island.
The Swim
A beach start into Whitmore Bay. One lap of sheltered sea water, marked by buoys, with safety kayaks on the water throughout.
Route subject to 2027 confirmation.

The Bike
Out of transition and onto closed-road loops around Barry. Fast, technical in places, and loud with support.
Route subject to 2027 confirmation.
The Run
Legs of jelly, sea air in the lungs. A coastal 5k that ends with a finish chute on the island.
Route subject to 2027 confirmation.
