Swim Start
The top 15 spots for both male and female participants will be seeded by the Race Director based on information from other races and previous HOD triathlon results; all others will start based on the order of registration. This is put in place to ensure the race operates as smooth and safe as possible, for ALL participants.
You will keep the buoys to your RIGHT during the entire swim.
The swim is 1/2 mile.
Swim caps are not required but are recommended for safety. In the instance swim caps are provided by the race staff, they will be required to be worn by USAT. Swim caps increase the ability of our water safety team to spot you in the effect that you need assistance.
