Course Information:

Swim Course
Seniors – 200m

The athletes begin their swim just north of the ADA dock at the south end of Foster Beach, swim east until the buoy, take a right headed south until the next buoy, then a final right around the buoy to head west back to shore. They will exit the water at the ADA dock and run toward the Foster Beach House staying straight hugging the east side of the building until they have reached the shower. They then take a right to run along the south side of the building until they get to the next left through the flower garden and into transition (located in the Foster Beach Parking Lot). The swim start and swim exit will be clearly marked on the beach with hard barricades and large inflatables.
