THE SWIM WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE OPEN WATER LAKE IN THE DESIGNATED SWIM AREAS. MOST ATHLETES WILL BE ABLE TO TOUCH BOTTOM BUT WE DISCOURAGE USING IT TO ADVANCE THE SWIMMER. IT WILL BE A TIMED TRIAL ENTRY INTO THE WATER WHICH MEANS THAT EACH SWIMMER WILL ENTER THE WATER EVERY 10 SECONDS BY BIB NUMBER ORDER.
