Safety |
Swim caps will be provided to all swimmers and will be mandatory for the swim. If you are not wearing the correct cap color for your wave or if you are not wearing the official cap issued, you will not receive a swim time. We ask for your cooperation in this matter to assure a fair, accurate, and smoothly run event. The course will be monitored by both safety boats and paddlers. Individual escorts will not be allowed. A cut-off time will be enforced to ensure that no swimmers will be in the water longer than one hour for the 1-mile swim and two hours for the 2-mile swim. |
Course and Water Temperatures |
Both the 1-mile & 2-mile courses will be marked by buoys at approximately 200 yard intervals. The expected water temperature of the lake is between 65-70 degrees. The 2-mile course will go around Goat Island and the 1-mile course will go around Flamingo Island. |
Post Swim Picnic |
After the swims, Oak Shores Park has traditionally become a picnic haven. Shade trees, picnic tables, barbecue grills, and restroom facilities make a prime location for all to enjoy. Come and enjoy a complete lunch prepared by: Plutos |
