We are expecting the water temperature to be around 62 degrees by the first week of May. Take a look at the Maryland DNR statistics for the Nanticoke River. Wet suits are highly recommended. Bonzai Sports will provide wet suit rentals at a special daily rate for this event. You must register for the wet suite prior to race day. A link will be provided directly to their rental site.

The swim course will be an in the water start and sandy beach finish. The start will begin in shallow water next to a jetty. Swimmers will swim out beyond the end of the jetty and turn right to begin a triangular section of the course.

1/2 mile and triathlon participants in white caps will complete a triangle with approximate distances of 95 yards and then return to the finish. Begin by swimming 300 yards northwest out of Cedar Hill Marina. At the end of the jetty, swimmers will pass between a buoy on their left and the jetty on their right. Swimming will continue in a north-easterly direction for 95 yards before turning left around a buoy and swimming westerly for 95 yards. Swimmers will then turn left around a third buoy and swim 95 yards back to the original buoy. Keeping buoy on your left, turn into the finish stretch for last 300 yards to a sandy beach. Finish line or transition area will be beyond the grassy dune.
