New for 2027: Age Group & Relay Starts
As race day approaches, each age group will be assigned:
- A corral time
- A start time
Age groups & Relay Participants will be seeded based on estimated 300-yard swim time 5 seconds apart with a 2 minute break between age groups. This format not only creates a more competitive and engaging race experience—especially as a USAT National Qualifier—but also helps reduce crowding on the pool deck and improves overall flow.
We expect the start process to remain smooth, with a similar cadence to past years and only minimal breaks between groups.
As race day approaches, each age group will be assigned: a corral time (corralling will happen in the front parking lot of the pool area)
The ‘corral ladies’ will be holding signs with the current age groups ‘on deck’ and then will be walking each age group on deck in order of their bib number to receive their chip timing device and then line up for the start. It is important that athletes line up with the ‘corral ladies’ in order of your bib number within their correct age group. Bib number is how we sorted estimated swim finish time. If there is a gap, meaning bib numbers 1, 2, & 4 are present and bib number 3 is missing bib number 4 should collect the chip timing device labeled 4 and there will be an extra 5 second gap between athlete 2 & 4. The chip timing company will be in charge of starting each athlete, but athletes should make sure their bib number MATCHES their chip timing device.
We will be corralling 3 age groups at time, but this will move very quickly. There will only be a 2 minute gap between each age group. Age groups will be seeded by fastest expected swim finish time and will be mixed male & female. There will be a separate corral for relays.
Spectators are encouraged to cheer for their athletes on pool deck only when their athlete is being ushered in. No athletes or spectators are allowed to enter the pool deck through the race course, they MUST enter in through the locker room/ main entrance. Once their athlete is finished swimming we ask that spectators move towards transition area or bike course to continue cheering and make room for other spectators to cheer on deck.
Coral Order by age group (age groups will be ordered by their estimated swim finish time):
- 70+
- 12-14
- 65-69
