Course Details:
Swim - 0.62 mile / 1 km - map
The swim course is a dog-legged out-and-back, 500 meters in each direction. It starts on the east side of the swimming pier at Ocean Boulevard and 54th Place, follows the swimming area marker buoys north to turnaround buoy under the Second Street bridge, and returns to the east side of the same pier. Athletes must swim to the shoreward side of the swimming area marker buoys. The starting line is on the beach, about 50 feet from the shoreline. The swim finish line is upon exiting of the water east of the pier. The water temperature is expected to be 66-70 degrees. Although there is no surf, mild winds and currents are common.
