What is triathlon's swimming length?

Answer 1

It depends on what the Triathlon is...Sprint Distance is usually a swim of about a half mile (0.47).

Olympic or International Distance is a swim of about one mile (0.93).

Then there is the half-Ironman (70.3) or Long Distance Triathlon as they are sometimes referred to which has a swim of 1.2 miles.

Then the ultimate Triathlon that many work toward which is the full Ironman distance and that has a swim of 2.4 miles.
