A note on relay exchanges

Relay Exchange Chart.png

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.
