Course Descriptions and Maps

Triathlon Course:

Swim Course: 800 Meter Pool Swim

The swim will take place at the Lancaster Aquatic Center and will be an 800 meter pool swim. The swim will be "snake style" so swimmers will swim down and back in each lane, always staying to the right in the direction they are swimming. At the shallow end of the pool, swim under the lane line to enter the next lane until you've completed all eight. Flip turns are optional. Athletes will be instructed to "go" and will be required to slide into the pool. THERE WILL BE NO DIVING OR JUMPING allowed for the start of the swim. Any athlete that jumps or dives to start the race will be disqualified, no exceptions!
