The race staging is adjacent to Centennial Park's Parthenon and Tennessee Woman Suffrage Monument with the transition area on the Great Lawn.
The swim is in the 50 meter indoor pool. You will enter the pool in an "interval start" fashion. Participants line up by race number (beginning with the lowest number to the highest.) The SUPER SPRINT begins first with racer #1 and the SPRINT follows with a beginning racer #505. Race Numbers in each event are assigned based on your estimated swim time you submitted when you registered.
Racers are allowed to move to the back of the line to start. One person at a time enters the pool and begins swimming when given the start command. Swim down the first lane, touch the wall, go under the lane rope, swim down that lane, and continue the same process until you exit after swimming 4 lengths for a total of 200 meters for sprint and 2 lengths for super sprint. When you exit the pool, volunteers will direct you to the transition area adjacent to The ParthenonThe distance from the pool to the transition area is about 0.15 miles on pavement and sidewalk, so if you want to wear shoes, there will be a staging area for them outside of the pool exit.
Pre-register by the Wednesday night before the race to get a spot in the swim order. All registrants after that time will have the upper numbers and start at the rear.
