SAFETY: Since the safety of the swimmers is of prime concern, this swimming event may be delayed or canceled due to dangerous weather conditions. The Event Director will make this decision. The Event Director also has the authority to close the course in case of inclement weather and prevent athletes from completing the swim. Due to the nature of the event, we are unable to issue refunds. Wetsuits are strongly encouraged. If water temperature is below 66 degrees, wetsuits will be required. For safety reasons, swimmers unable to complete any loop of the course in less than 30 minutes will not be permitted to complete subsequent loops. Entry fee includes a highly visible swim cap that must be worn as the top cap during the swim. Lifeguards, safety boats, and kayaks will monitor the entire race course and local EMTs and medical personnel will be present. All safety personnel and race directors have the authority to remove someone from the event at any time.
