Short Course: 1/3 mi

Long Course: 3/4 mi

Wetsuits: Allowed in both races.

The swim is a traditional triangular course for both the short and long courses. The courses start at Telemark Pointe beach and head north into Garden Lake. They then turn left for a short distance and left again back to the beach.

Always keep bouys on your left.

The Long Course begins at 8:00 A.M. The Short Course begins at 8:45 A.M. Swim course closes 45 minutes after the last Short Course wave begins.

Swimmers exit the water back at Telemark Pointe beach and proceed to the adjacent transition area on the large grassy area.

Both races leave the transition area to the south on a trail that takes participants 1/4 mile to County Road M and on to the bike course.
