Course Information:
Please note: 11-17 years olds will swim out further and not be able to touch the bottom. 7-10 year olds will also be over their head for a portion of the race. We will be launching waves in small groups to allow for ease of swimming. Lifeguards will be along the route for safety and support. All 5-6 yr. old groups will be in an area where they can put their feet down to stop if necessary.
Directions:
Mohegan Park:
• Caution, google maps are not entirely accurate.
• Some roads on map no longer exist.
• The closest parking lot to the beach is the east parking lot
• You can also park at the south parking lot
• Please note that Mohegan Park Rd is permanently closed between these two lots so you have to get to the east parking lot from the north, and you can only get to the south parking lot from the south.
