Staging for the swim will be at the Lakeside Park beach. Please line up and group together as instructed with your wave. The swim will be a triangular course around the swim area at Lakeside Park.  Markers will be added or adjusted for distance adjustments. Each racer will be provided with a swim cap that MUST BE WORN.  There will be lifeguards and boaters along the course if you need to rest.  However, do not move forward while resting on a flotation device or you will be disqualified.  If you are in distress, remove your swim cap and wave it in the air and a lifeguard will come assist you.  If a lifeguard or boater thinks you are struggling and has concern for your safety, they do have the authority to pull you from the race.  Coming out of the water, run the chute to the transition area.
