Where does the Swim leg take place at TriAthy? Resolved
- The Swim leg of TriAthy takes place in the River Barrow at Athy Town Centre.
- The River Barrow is Ireland's second longest River. It rises in the Slieve Bloom mountains before travelling through the towns of Portarlington (Laois) and Monasterevin (Kildare) before reaching Athy.
- At Athy, the River Barrow is never more than 40m wide at any point.
- There are no tides or swells to reckon with, but occasionally the wind may cause some gentle waves to form on the surface.
- Swim course maps are available for each race on the respective links below:
