The race course is designed in a triangular configuration spanning approximately 1km. Competitors participating in the 1km race will complete one loop of the course, while those in the 3km race will do three loops, and 5km participants will navigate the course five times. Swimmers are responsible for keeping track of their completed loops.
During the race, participants must ensure they pass marker buoys with them on their left. Upon completing the required loops, competitors should head straight to the finish line, which is located in the water. Please wear the timing chip on your left arm. As you approach the finish, raise your left arm and place it on the finish bar to ensure the chip records your time accurately.
