SUNDAY

Starting at 6:00AM -

Late packet pick up, chip pick up, and body marking starts. 

Your swim cap and arms must be marked with your race number.  This number must be bold and large.  Your cap will already have the number on it so please mark either your UPPER arms or TOP of your hands before swimming

Mott's Channel Sprint SHUTTLE to START (Blockade Runner)

6:15-7:15AM.  You will get picked up at Dockside.

*If you choose to park at the Blockade Runner or WB in general, PAID meters start at 9:00am.  The fee is $5.00 an hour*

SWIM THE LOOP and MOTT'S CHANNEL SPRINT WILL START AT 7:30AM

At the start everyone must cross over the timing mats before entering the water (Swim The Loop) or a mass start (Mott's Channel Sprint). At either start let the more competitive swimmers start up front.  If you wait 10-30 seconds at the start, you will have plenty of room and won’t have to worry about contact with another swimmer. At 10:30AM you must be finished with the swim course. If you do not make the time cut-off you will be pulled from the water and be brought back to Dockside.

THERE WILL BE A HARD CUT-OFF for SWIM THE LOOP at the green channel marker 23.  IF YOU DO NOT PASS THIS POINT BY 2.5 HRS YOU WILL BE PULLED FROM THE COURSE.
