Olympic Swim Course 1.5K Total
You'll swim the A-B-C-D E course buoys two times...each is .75K in length. After the
first circuit, you'll exit the water for a short "ITU" jog over a timing mat at the Flag,
re-enter the water and repeat the buoy sequence. Race day tides will be almost high
so your trip to transition will be shorter and the buoy placement will be slightly
different to account for this but will be laid out similarly.
