Transition

This is mainly relevant for long-distance swimmers or marathon swimmers and the products that you place at feeding stations is usually provided by the individual swimmer. Consideration here may be the timing or location of the aid station and clear guidelines to supporters as to the products you want at specific timings! NB. Triathlon events don’t generally offer swimming aid stations

Transition

In triathlons, the transition area may also act as an aid station and there is nutrition available. Many triathletes won’t use this but some swimmers that are taking over 90 min may consider this an opportunity to fuel quickly before leaving on their bike.
