aquathlon
Swim then sprint
An aquathlon is a multisport race combining swimming and running, typically swim-run or run-swim-run format.
Unlike triathlons, there's no cycling component: She competed in her first aquathlon last summer.
The distances vary, but events are generally shorter and more accessible than triathlons, making them popular entry points into multisport racing.
