Course Information:
Swim
525 Yards: Swimmers will compete in waves of 16 (2 per lane). Heats will be assigned according to category and swim times (submitted on your entry form). Heat assignments will be provided at race packet pickup with approximate start times. At race day athletes will gather in the stands. Race director will call down to pool deck when the previous heat has 25 yards left to swim and next wave needs to be getting ready for swim. Once the last swimmer has exited the swim, the next heat will be allowed into the pool. Swimmers are required to hold onto the wall until the start signal. Swimmers will start in the water at the DEEP END, NO DIVE START. Swimmers will stay on their side of the lane swimming back and forth (there will be no circular swimming). Volunteer counters will be at the exit end to ensure swimmers complete their 21 lengths. The volunteer will place a board down the wall for the swimmer to see with 1 more length to complete. Swimmers will exit the shallow end of the pool, and proceed to the transition zone.
