Athletes enter the pool through the spectator bleacher area about 15 minutes before your race start. Swim is a continuous flow – when one athlete leaves the water, another one enters. Athletes/swimmers exit pool through gate at west side, pick up their bikes from the bike racks inside the transition area, walk their bikes across the crosswalk, and ride their designated course.
Your swim distance varies depending on your age. See below chart for your approx. swim time (Please note these are currently the 2011 swim times. The times may change so please check back after March 2012 when registration begins and the times will be updated to the new times then.
