- Where does the swim take place?
- The swim is usually held in the harbour area near the Plaza de España, featuring calm waters protected by the breakwater.
- Is the bike course draft-legal?

- How do I get my bike from the airport?
- The best option is a pre-booked private transfer or a 'Taxi Grande' from Tenerife North (TFN). Standard taxis may struggle with large bike boxes.

- Can I train in the race water before Sunday?
- Official swim practice is usually scheduled for Saturday morning. Outside of this, swimming in the commercial port is strictly prohibited.
- What is the typical water temperature?
- In October, the water is approximately 22-23°C. It is often a optional-wetsuit or non-wetsuit swim for Elites.
