WETSUITS/Temperature/Awards/Misc
*The temperature of the lake usually is above 70 degrees on this weekend.
*Swimmers may choose to wear wetsuits or be otherwise "assisted," but only non-wetsuit swimmers will be eligible for awards.
*Awards- due to both the short timeframe we have on the beach and the lack of manpower we have on the beach, awards given on the day will be limited to 1st-3rd place overall Male and Female in the OneMile and 3 Mile events.
*Results will be listed by agegroup and gender, and will be posted by NE Timing online and on-site at the conclusion of each swim.
Same-Day Registration
There will be no same-day registration for the 3 mile swim without prior communication with race director. There will be spots available for the OneMile event, but t shirts might be limited AND swimmers might not have the flexibility to choose a "wave," i.e. speed or age group with which to swim.
Timing System
New England Timing will be on site to help with finish line setup and precise timing. Swimmers will pick up a timing chip at check-in.
Weather Conditions
This event will be held Rain or Shine. We will make every effort to hold this event within the limited timeframe we are allotted by the facility/beach, but in case of a dangerous weather situation which makes this impossible, the event will be cancelled. We do not have a "rain date." If the event is cancelled, your entry fee will not be refunded - it will still be a tax-deductible donation to Wayland Community Pool.
