Each wave, with the exception of the Open wave, will be a time trial start. The time trial start consists of starting one person at a time at approximately 2 second intervals. Participants will start with their assigned wave (eg. Intermediate, Men 40 & Over), and will line up within their wave on a first come basis. The time for each person will start when they cross the swim start timing mat at the water’s edge. We think you will like this new way to start the swim – no more mass swim start
