Swim out into Weymouth Bay knowing your cover comes with you

icon Frais médicaux

Chop, elbows and Dorset descents, with treatment up to €150,000

A beach start in choppy water means knocks, swallowed seawater and the odd panic attack. On the bike, narrow Dorset lanes and fast descents raise the risk of a crash. Your medical expenses are covered up to €150,000, from the emergency department to surgery and follow-up care.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Evacuated from the Dorset coast and brought home at actual cost

Weymouth is mostly reached by road, and plenty of athletes drive down with their bikes. After a serious accident, getting yourself home is out of the question. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost cover evacuation from the scene and a journey home suited to your medical condition.

icon Option compétition

Pinning on an official number? The Competition option has it covered

Wave starts, packed bike lanes and tight turns on the seafront concentrate the risk on race day. The Competition option covers you in official competition, both at IRONMAN 70.3 Weymouth and at every other official event you enter this season.

icon Capital invalidité

Life after a serious injury, backed by up to €200,000

A high-speed bike crash or an accident in the water can leave lasting damage: reduced mobility, chronic pain, a career rethink. The permanent disability benefit, up to €200,000, gives you the means to adapt your home, your work and your everyday life.

When the wind picks up over the bay, the race changes

In September the Channel is still cool, and an onshore breeze can whip up enough chop to disorient less confident swimmers. On the bike, the climbs inland break your rhythm and many reach the esplanade already empty. Panic in the water, crashes on descents and late-race energy slumps are the usual stories.

All of that is built over a summer of training: long rides, sea swims, brick sessions. Triathlon insurance that covers you in training and in competition, in the UK and abroad, saves you from juggling several policies or finding an exclusion the night before the start.
