TRI11 swim course
Located just three kilometers outside of central Copenhagen the atmosphere at the swim start on race morning is electric!
The swim is held in the artificial lagoon at Amager Strandpark. The calm waters at the beach park offer great potential for fast swim times.
Three low bridges crossing the lagoon and a shallow seaboard make up for a perfect location for both athletes and spectators. From the surrounding seaboard spectators can follow their favorite athletes most of the way round the swim course.
