Course Information:
SWIM: 1-mile
The Mayflower Triathlon at Plymouth Rock swim is a point-to-point course in Plymouth Harbor where the Pilgrims landed in the year 1620.
A barrier beach protects the harbor. This generally results in calm surf.
The swim begins with a water start at the foot of the State Boat Ramp. Swimmers swim about a half mile along the breakwall / jetty keeping the buoys to your right.
At the turnaround buoy head towards the Mayflower II.
Swimmers exit at the dock next to The Mayflower II and run 1/4 mile on indoor/outdoor carpet to the transition area at Memorial State Park just south of Plymouth Rock.
You can expect water temperatures in the mid-60s. Wetsuits are recommended.
Unlike the Pilgrims there are no rocks to navigate as you exit the water.
