Details on the event: 

Swim Detail: The Junior swim will be done in a “snake” fashion with each swimmer swimming one  length in each lane (a total of 2 lengths in a 50 meter pool). There will be lifeguards on duty as well as  volunteers to make sure each swimmer completes the course in a safe manner. Swimmers will be  starting the course one at a time at approximately 10-second intervals. Swimmers will be allowed to  pass another swimmer. The Senior racers will swim in a similar snake swim method doing a total of 4  laps. Lastly, those athletes in the adult division will swim a total of 6 laps in a snake swim fashion. 

Transition Detail: Athletes will be able to change into their socks, shoes, etc. in the contained grassy  area outside of the pool entrance. Please claim your transition spot when you arrive. 

Run Detail: The run course will take place on the path around the Norris and school property.  Volunteers and an aid station with water will be available on the course to guide athletes. The course is  very visible for spectators and should provide plenty of opportunity to view your child. See attached  maps for a general overview of the run course – athletes will be able to view entire course upon arrival.
