Relays: See relay entry for more information
Safety: For safety reasons, swimmers who cannot complete 1 mile in 1 hour or 2 miles in 2 hours are advised not to enter. Swimmers still on the course after the time limits will be stopped. In the event of inclement weather, the referee may close the course and thereby prevent swimmers from completing the swim. Wetsuits are allowed, but those swimmers will compete in a separate category and will be seeded in the last waves. Entry fee includes a highly visible swim cap that must be worn during the swim. No motorized craft are allowed on the lake. Lifeguards and kayaks will monitor the course and safety personnel will be on shore.
Seeding: Swimmers will be seeded fastest to slowest according to 1650 seedtime. “No Time” & wetsuit entries will be seeded last. Races will be seeded before race day, so you must declare if you plan to wear a wetsuit on your entry. Seeding changes will not be allowed on race day.
Awards: Awards will be given to the top men & women finishers in each age group: 18-24, 25-29, 30-34…100+. There will be a separate category for wetsuits. Awards will be given out at the post-race picnic. Results will be posted at www.adms.org.
