The Event Director also has the authority to close the course in case of inclement weather and prevent athletes from completing the swim. Due to the nature of the event, we are unable to issue refunds. Wetsuits are strongly encouraged. If water temperature is below 66 degrees, wetsuits will be required. For safety reasons, swimmers unable to complete any loop of the course in less than 30 minutes will not be permitted to complete subsequent loops.
