Swim Portion of the race: We will have 3 waves with 50 swimmers in each wave for racers.
Nervous About the Swim? No Problem!
If you’re not a strong or confident swimmer, we’ve got you covered. We recommend signing up for Wave 2 or Wave 3, which are designed for participants who prefer a more relaxed pace in the water. You’re also welcome to use a life jacket, kickboard, or other approved flotation aids to help you complete the swim safely and confidently.
This race is about participation, fun, and personal achievement—so don’t let the swim hold you back!
