  • USAT anticipates a wetsuit legal swim.   
  • Swim socks or neoprene booties are legal for the Collegiate Sprint and Nationals races
  • Athletes may want to wear ear plugs and two swim caps for the swim depending on the temperature (USAT will provide athletes with ONE swim cap that must be visibly worn during the swim)

Get crazy on camera! – Part 2
USA Triathlon is once again teaming with Gatorade for a video contest open to all teams competing at USAT Collegiate Nationals. All you have to do is document (on video) your team's preparations and participation in the championship event. The only requirement is that you incorporate the Gatorade brand somewhere in the video (the more you do that and in the most creative way, the better). Film your trip out, where you are staying (20 people in a room is always fun to see), your pre-race rituals, pranks you play on each other (or other teams) during the weekend, cheering on your teammates, pigging out at the pre-race dinner (or on Gatorade), prepping for your event and racing to victory.

  • Get creative, but keep it clean (no obscene or racy videos, and nothing vulgar). We want these to be rated PG.
  • The videos will be posted on USAT's YouTube channel and will be involved in a voting process (details to be announced).
  • The winning team will receive a case of 50 Gatorade squeeze bottles and 6 canisters of Gatorade powder mix. Each canister makes 5.5 gallons of Gatorade.
  • The video should be no longer than 3 minutes. Just submit the video by posting it to YouTube and emailing the URL to communications@usatriathlon.org by Friday, May 8. USAT will post the videos to its YouTube channel.
  • The video name in YouTube should be: "USAT Collegiate Nationals - Gatorade: YOUR SCHOOL NAME". Ex. "USAT Collegiate Nationals - Gatorade: University of Alabama". Please tag the video with keywords: USAT, USA, triathlon, multisport, collegiate nationals.
