Swim Course

Swimmers are to follow a "snake" pattern, swimming up and back within a large lap lane three times in a 50 meter pool for a total of 6 laps (300 meters). Youth triathletes will complete only 2 laps (100 meters). See the attached map for details. 

Note: Youth athletes must be able to swim 100m on their own. This is essential for safety.

Also, there is absolutely no changing for adults or youth in the transition area -- please wear something to swim in that can be used to bike and run in as well. You are welcome to go into the locker room to change clothes if you would like to take the extra time to do so.
