"The BIG South Swim"

With the popularity of Open Water Swimming in the past year and success from the GB Olympic swimmers, F3 Events is planning on organising "The BIG South Swim" in 2009.

The swim will be an open water swim with two distances of 1.5km and a 3.8km. It will be open to all abilities and really wants to encourage first timers and newbies to open water swimming to enter.

The venue is still to be confirmed, but it will be along the thames valley corridor, as there are plenty of fantastic venues suitable to hold such an event.

More information will be available very soon, both on the F3 Events website and also www.thegreatsouthswim.co.uk, which goes live a few weeks.

If you have an enquiries regarding this event, please contact the events team on enquiries@f3events.co.uk

2009 Events Update

Many thanks to all that have been patiently waiting for the 2009 Events Calendar to be announced.

They will be put up on the website shortly, and you will see some new events and locations appearing throughout the season.

There will not be a winter series in 2008 being held, but we look to hold a couple of Dualthons and 10km Runs in February, March & April to allow those winter legs to get some race experience.

If you have any news or feecback that you would like to share with the team, please send an email.

I hope that you all enjoyed your F3 Events Experience in 2008 and look forward to seeing you in early 2009.

Best Regards
Team F3 Events

ORCA Classic Triathlon

Due to the large number of entries to both the Orca Classic Triathlon and the Orca sprint triathlon both races will now be run in a wave format. It could not be simpler. If you are male you will be starting 10 minutes after the females in your race.

Look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
