Overview
Everyone Starts Somewhere aims to encourage disabled people to take part at 2023 World Triathlon Para Series Swansea in whatever ways they are most comfortable.
The main focus is to provide the support to join us in Swansea and get involved in a safe environment for individuals to achieve their own goals, whatever those may be.
HOW TO TAKE PART:
Splash & Dash - a truly participation focused swim-run activity enabling anyone to take part in the experience. Take part however you feel comfortable knowing our expert team will be on hand to support you, whether that’s simply dipping your toe in the water or making a splash before the 300m on dry land to the finish line. It’s your event, your way.
British Paratri Super Series - a 400m swim, 10km bike, 2.5km run for individuals with or without a sporting classification who want to take part in a full triathlon either to complete it or compete in it. Please note, minimum criteria need to be evidenced to take part.
MORE OPPORTUNITIES:
Volunteering - a range of opportunities to support the delivery of the day and helping to bring the event to life for participants, spectators and officials.
Spectating - set in a purpose-built event venue next to the Prince of Wales Dock, the close proximity of the layout allows spectating of the swim, bike and run sections supported by commentary, live camera feeds and leaderboards to help you follow the elite races.

hear from others
We are creating a series of videos with paratriathlon participants talking about their motivations, preparation and feelings from when they took part in their first event.
They could be on podiums, in clubs or at events just down the road, we’ll be telling their stories to help provide inspiration to others to start their swim, bike, run journey.
further information
We are hosting two online webinars to talk through the overview of the event and the different ways you can take part. These will also provide the opportunity for anyone interested to ask any questions they may have:
- Tuesday 13 June, 6pm
- Wednesday 28 June, 6pm
If you would like to attend either webinar, please email Swansea@BritishTriathlon.org to register for your preferred date.
An athlete guide for the British Paratri Super Series and Splash & Dash will be released closer to the event with all the information you need to know about taking part.
Accommodation
We know that preparing for your first event presents a number of things to organise.
To try to help, we have secured up to 100 single occupancy ensuite rooms for Everyone Starts Somewhere participants and supporters at the Swansea University Bay Campus with B&B, half board and full board rates available.
