SPECTATORS VIEW

SWIM - VANTAGE POINTS

The swim course offers many fantastic viewpoints. The swim start at the Hever Loggia is a great option to watch the athletes take to the water in the early morning. Spectators has access of the Hever Lake Walk which runs alongside the course. To follow the race, you can walk anticlockwise around the lake to watch most of the swim. Spectators will get great views of the Japanese Tea House and the iconic grounds. After 900m swimming down the main section of the lake, competitors enter the river section underneath one of two pedestrian bridges and you will be able to follow them around this section literally from 10 yards away for the next 800m or so. After reappearing in front of the Loggia after Lap 1 the swimmers will then complete the same loop for a second time before emerging from the water via the Swim Exit immediately adjacent to the Loggia and Guthrie Pavilion restaurant (this restaurant will be open from 6.00am for coffees and bacon sandwiches). A 200m run from here through the formal gardens will see your competitor back in transition and then out onto the bike course.
