SWIM COURSE - 400 meters
The swim course is 400 meters in a tributary of the Tennessee River. The course is a simple out and back. Keep buoys on your left. Finish the swim on the beach and follow the markings to the transition area. For safety, all swimmers must wear a white swim cap. 

You enter the swim based on your race number, from lowest to highest number. Race numbers are assigned based on the estimated swim time you provide on your entry form. This will be strictly enforced. Swimmers can move back in line, but can not move forward. Register now to get a spot in the swim order. All registrants who wait to the last minute will have the UPPER numbers and be starting at the rear, NO EXCEPTIONS.
