This event provides a secure, well-supported environment for experienced swimmers. The swim will be about 11 kilometers (7 miles). Each swimmer will be required to use a visibility float (swim buoy), we will have small ones to minimize drag that can be used for the race. Hydration and Nutrition stops will be provided at three locations along the course. Water temperatures are expected to be around 78 degrees. Wetsuits will not be allowed unless water temperatures are significantly cooler than the expected 78 degrees.
