The swim will start at Paulus Park and proceed across the lake to Breezewald Park. There will be a new swim start this year. The first wave will be the elite wave, the second wave will be the teams wave. Wet suites are allowed, water temp is expected to be 74-78 degrees . Swimming caps will be provided.
Caps are color coded by wave.
If you are a novice swimmer and wish to be watched extra closely, we have special color caps regardless of the wave. Lifeguards and other water patrol personnel will be able to focus on these special caps. If necessary you may rest on a boat. Each participant will be provided a printed label matching your race number. This number must be on your bike prior to entering the transition area.
