TUNE UP TRI
Swim
The race finishes in the pool
Swimmers will begin the swim whenever they reach the pool after completing the bike portion of the tri . There will be 10 lanes set up in the 25 yard pool, a total of 250 yards. You will sit and slide into the pool and use the ladder to exit the pool. Each will swim down the first lane, go under the laneline, swim back in the next lane, go under the next laneline, swim down the next lane, etc. This is called a snake swim...and you should practice going under the lanelines at your own pool before the triathlon.
Our format for the swim includes:
swimming in each lane goes only one direction
-
passing is allowed
you MUST swim to the wall, touch it, go under the laneline, and push off from wall in next lane
flip turns will not be permitted. Use of flip turns will be cause for disqualification from the race.
-
NO diving or jumping into the pool (you'll be seated and then slide in from the side)
call your race number to the timers as you exit the pool
