The swim segment is a 400 yard snake swim in the indoor Olympic sized pool at the Jenks Aquatic Center. Lanes will be roped off for 25 yard lanes and racers will complete 16 pool lengths. Racers will move to the next lane at each turn. Click on the map to the left for a larger view of the swim course.

The transition area is located in the parking lot just outside the Jenks Aquatic Center. Racers will exit the pool and prepare for their bike ride in the transition area. After the swim racers enter the north (far) end of the transition area and exit with their bike on the same north end. Racers must push their bike past the mount line prior to getting on their bike.

As a racer finishes the bike course they approach the transition area from the north and continue to the south end of the transition area. Racers must completely dismount from their bike before they cross the dismount line. Racers will push their bike into the transition area, place their bike back on the rack, and exit the transition area on the south end to begin their run. Volunteers will be stationed to provide directions. Be sure and follow their instructions.
