Swim Course
Sprint 750m (0.47mi) - Olympic 1500m (0.93mi)

This clockwise rectangular course starts and finishes at the swim beach of the Boulder Reservoir. Kayaks, sea doos, boats, and lifeguards will be in the water to support all athletes. If you need a rest, while in the water, waive your arms or simply swim to the nearest kayak. You can hold on to any vessel without penalty as long as there is no forward propulsion. If you need to cut your swim short for any reason, let the water support team member know, and they will bring you in to shore.

NOTE: Duathlon Athletes will do their first 5k run in stead of the swim.
