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. The water temperature is between 20 and 24 degrees and wetsuits are allowed. For a safe start for all athletes the swim will go off in waves of 250 - 300 persons.
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.
The Copenhagen Metro is only a few hundred meters from Amager Standpark. This makes it is easy for athletes, family members and spectators to travel to and from the swim start. After the swim spectators have easy access to the hot spots on the bike and run courses via the metro and s-train network.
