Swim Course


Swim Course

(2.4 miles/2 loops)
The two loop swim takes place in Mirror Lake, a calm, pristine lake right in the heart of Lake Placid.  It is an excellent spectator course.  The water temperature is typically in the high 60s to low 70s.  Wetsuits will be allowed
The swim is a mass start keeping all swim buoys to your left.  Each athlete will exit the water and run on the beach before entering swim entrance for second lap.
The ChampionChip system will be used to time the race and to ensure everyone completes 2 laps.  Swim Lap times will be available on the Internet.
After the second lap, exit the water and run down Lake Placid Club Dr. , downhill to transition zone.  There will be carpet on the road.  The swim course will close at 9:20 am (2hr 20 minute time limit).
*The transition zone and finish line area located on the Olympic Speed skating Oval.*
