Race day

Transition opens at 6:00 am on race day. The first swim starts at 7:00 am. The swim will be a rolling start from the youngest to oldest age groups.

Athletes will enter the pool on 5 second intervals. Each swimmer will complete the required number of laps for their age group by swimming up and down on the left side of the lane and crossing under the lane divider after each lap.

The transition area is divided into zones based on age group. Younger athletes who do not wish to rack their bikes on the racks provided may set up on the area adjacent to their zone. All athletes must be out of transition 30 minutes prior to the start of their heat. Participants in the 6-7 age group may have one adult assist with transition set up. No non-participants are allowed in transition during the race.
