novice or experienced.
-
No special equipment is needed; swimsuit, swim cap
(supplied), swim goggles (optional), shoes, shirt, shorts, running shoes, water bottle, bike (any kind), and helmet – and being so excited you can barely stand still! A flutter board or swim floatation jacket is allowed and bike training wheels are fine.
