Emirates International School Aquathlon January 2015
“Top Bananas! - Really enjoyed doing it with my friends and brother”
“EIS Aquathlon - Fantastic event. Maybe a brief beforehand to remind the children of the number of pool lengths they need to complete and numbered swim hats so the number of laps completed can be monitored . For the swimming section the lanes are too packed. ”
“Gr8t to have timing at a school event - Thank you for supporting a school event!”
“The swimming killed me! - Might be back for another, the running was fine but my swimming was woeful. Once I brush up on this I may compete again.”
“Learnt about it through school - Enjoyed the event, will be back for another”
“It was a very good race, and it was fun - At the end, they only had Pocari Sweat and I was desperate for a drink of water! Also the sprint to the finish is on sand, which was quite annoying but overall a very good race and I really enjoyed it. I came with my school and there is no price. ”
“Challenging in the best way possible. - I really did enjoy the event and i found it most challenging in the best way possible. I think that most aspects before, during and after the race were really good however i did not appreciate the fact that i had to go up against much more physically developed competitors; Grades 10-13 were all racing each other. This was a bit of a let down seeing i knew i wouldn't come close to winning. Never the less I still enjoyed the race.”
“I loved the event and would definitely do it again - I enjoyed everything, however, I feel the track could be improved. I didn't enjoy running through the sand at the beginning and at the end and would prefer that wasn't part of the course. Overall it was good and I would definitely do it again.”
“First time I've ever done this and I loved it! - I have never really done anything like this before and it was a great experience! The staff was very helpful and everything was explained clearly. I especially thought the marshals were amazing and super helpful, it really pushed me to the limit! overall, a great experience and i would definitely do it again.”
“Exhausting, but would do it again! - I've done this aquathon 4 times already and plan on keep on doing it. It is a real test of fitness and perseverance. The scenery is really nice and calming around the water, and the path is quiet. There is also grass to run on. Overall a really great event.”
