The International Triathlon Union (ITU) and its member federation organizations sanction competitions and govern the sport. An aquathlon is also called an "aquathon." The ITU and USA Triathlon sanctioning organizations generally use the term aquathlon. HistoryAn earliest contested date for aquathlon is hard to state due to it being a combination of swimming and running which both have ancient origins. The modern roots of aquathlon can be traced to life guarding races in Australia, in the 1950s. Races would consist of a run along a beach, swim out to sea round a buoy and swim back to the beach, get out and then run back along the beach. By the 1960s the idea had spread to California in the United States, becoming popular with runners and swimmers.[1] USA Triathlon argue that the first aquathlon event in the USA was the Dave Pain Birthday Biathlon, a race consisting of a run and swim first held in San Diego in 1971.[2] This point is made due to aquathlons relation to triathlon and the fact that the Dave Pain Birthday Biathlon is the race that helped to inspire the first triathlon race (Mission Bay Triathlon) three years later.[3][4] OverviewAquathlon in general follows triathlon distances, but there is variability. Mostly open-water but there are some pool-based sprints/super-sprints. ITU "Warm water" standard distances are 2.5km run, 1000m swim, 2.5km run. If the rated water temperature is below 22°C then it becomes a wetsuit-mandatory 1000m swim and a single 5km run. "Long course" distances are 2000m swim and 10km of running. Where the rated water temperature is low (around 16°C) then the course may be shortened, and possibly cancelled.[5]Different national federations have their own distances and temperature rules, typically related to the acclimatisation of national athletes. For example, the Icelanders will train/race at 10°C whereas the BTF start at 12°C. BTF aquathlons tend to be 750m wetsuit-mandatory/optional and a 5km run. Aquathlons are most similar to triathlons, with the key difference being the lack of a cycle leg. The bike adds extra complexity for both the athletes and race organisers.
Modern pentathlon is similar to an aquathlon in that both include swimming and running. But swimming and cross-country running are only two of the five events which make up the modern pentathlon, and these are held as distinct, noncontiguous events. Within the pentathlon sport, the term biathle is also used for (training) races comprising swimming and running. These however contain distance stemming from pentathlon races, for instance 200m swimming 3km running. Another sport derived from triathlon is duathlon, which combines cycling and running but has omitted the swimming part. EventsThe ITU Aquathlon World Championships have been held annually since 1998.
