RELAY TEAM COMPOSITION/LOGISTICS

Relays are to be entered by one person on behalf of the two team members (one person will swim, the other will run). You will need to create a team name during the registration process.
It is recommended that your team is from the same triathlon, surf lifesaving, athletics or swimming club (but this is not compulsory).
If you have a mixed team for the relays (1 male, 1 female), they are to compete in the MALE category.
If both members of your team are in different age groups, the team will be assigned to the older age group (e.g. a team with an 8 year old and a 10 year old will compete in the 10/11 Yrs division).
The transition area will be the changeover zone between runner and swimmer and then from swimmer to runner (the timing chip must be transferred to the LEFT ankle of your relay partner in the transition zone).

The following equipment is recommended for participation in the NSW Junior Aquathlon Championships:

Swimming costume/triathlon suit
