Tentative schedule for the 2012 swims. For updates, please join us on our Facebook page.

6.5k (4 mile)

Sunday, August 26

Rogers Rock Campground to Hague Beach (point-to-point)

7:00 a.m. – Check-in begins at Rogers Rock Campground beach
7:40 a.m. – Pre-race meeting
8:00 a.m. – Start

Swimmers are required to have a personal kayak escort. Because we have limited spots, priority is given to those registered for the previous day’s swim(s) (2.5k, 5k, 10k). We are working on having kayaks/kayakers available for hire for those needing them.

Divisions

There will be Category 1 (non-wetsuit) and Category 2 (wetsuit) divisions for the 2.5k, 5k, 10k. We will follow the USMS policies for wetsuits and non-wetsuit attire. You can see the description for Cat 1 and Cat 2 attire here (PDF), specifically under rules 303.7.2 and 303.7.3.

Evidence

Please submit evidence of having completed a swim of roughly 2/3rds the distance of your chosen event (applies to 5k and 10k). Evidence may be emailed to events@greenleafracing.com and should include the date, venue, distance and time it took you to complete your swim. These swims should be in open water and they may happen in or out of competition. Those swimming in the 4 Miler on Sunday will be presumed qualified by swimming in one of the previous day’s swims.

Water Temperature

Temperature for the 2011 swim was 73 degrees.

Maps

Maps below may be subject to minor changes. Course will be counter-clockwise. Keep buoys to your left. 5k is two loops of the course. 10k is four loops.

2.5k/5k/10k:

Fueling: We will have a floating dock in the middle of the course for water safety. This is not intended as a fuel station though there will be backup water and gatorade there for emergencies. The main fuel station will be near the start/lap buoy. The water is shallow so you can stand while you fuel. You may place your personal aid there. Please mark your items. We will also have water, gatorade and gels available.

4 Mile Swim:

Start is Rogers Rock Beach, finish at Hague Public Beach.
