SWIM-1/2 Mile

The swim is a point-to-point swim in the Atlantic Ocean manned by certified lifeguards. There will be 13 waves starting 3 minutes apart. Start is approx. 1/4 mile north or south of the transition area, depending on the current. All swimmers must go completely around each buoy. You must wear your issued swimcap, timing chip & be body-marked prior to entering the water. The swim will be held unless conditions are considered dangerous. We reserve the right to shorten the swim distance or make the event into a biathlon based on water conditions. Water temperature will be approx. 72 degrees, therefore wetsuits are allowed.
