A note on relay exchanges
Relay Exchange Chart
- How to use: Swimmer A pick a row that denotes where you will start. Use the column to decide where you will meet swimmer B. The intersection is the distance you will swim.
- Highlighted part indicates all segments in order
How to do your relay exchange.
1) Exchange your race chip/bib as if it is a relay baton. The swimmer who is in the water should always have the chip.
2) A staff member/volunteer will record your relay exchange to keep our event staff aware of your last exchange location.
