Northbrook Waters is an exclusive man-made lake with a golden beach and clear water within country surrounds. The lake is spring fed with water temperatures ranging from 18 – 25 degrees in the summer season. Depth range is from 4 - 6 metres in the middle with a gradual incline from each side of the lake.

There will be 4 events catering for all abilities

	Short Course Duathlon (Male/Female/Teams) 1km Run/walk 15km Cycle 3.5km Run/Walk	For those who want to take part in the short course but who are unsure of the swim, a duathlon course is offered.
	Short Course Triathlon (Male/Female/Teams) 100m Swim 15km Cycle 3.5km Run/Walk	Northbrook Waters is a great starting point for beginners, offering a safer swim within a more controlled environment, opposed to unpredictable sea conditions.
	Long Course Duathlon (Male/Female/Teams) 3km Run 26km Cycle 6km Run	For the more experienced competitor who wants the challenge of the longer course but without the swim we have introduced a long course duathlon.
	Long Course Triathlon (Male/Female/Teams) 750m Swim 26km Cycle 6km Run/Walk	For the more experienced competitor there is a separate event with a longer distance option for males, females and teams.

NCTri will hold a practice swim for competitors.
Details will be posted here in due course.

Northbrook Waters is private property so any training outside of these arrangements is strictly prohibited. Northbrook Waters is designed for residents to water ski on the lake which can happen at any time. This makes it a risky proposition for anyone who considers unscheduled swimming in the lake.
