    You dont swim as part of an adventure race, you kayak. Most ARs have a few different entry levels, to cater for different levels of ability. So you should find something to suit. If you plan on swimming, then you could try a triathlon. The Triathlon Ireland race calendar for 2014 is here.

    A sprint. 750m swim-20km bike-5km run.

    Some races will put on a super sprint either, usually with an even shorter swim (~400m) and sometimes a shorter bike too.

    Loads of options on that calendar Oryx mentioned.
