The course runs along the shore, approximately 500 yards to the south, and then turns east and north into a protected inlet, around buoys that will be clearly visible. The swimmers will reach the turn-around point inside the “no wake zone” in the inlet, turn counter- clockwise around a buoy, and swim back to the beach via the same route. All buoys will remain to the swimmer’s left, except the final one, which will be on the right.
