Additional Information
• Pre-registration ends September 18, 2010. Pre-registration is strongly recommended.
• Event T shirts will not be guaranteed for registrations received after September 18th. We will order extra event T-shirts and have them available upon beach registration on a first come, first served basis until we run out. These shirts are much coveted.

• Check-in is 6:00 – 6:45AM at La Jolla Cove
• Race Starts at 7:00AM – have your first swimmer ready and on the beach.
• This is a 10 mile relay swim race (or for the solo swimmers, simply a 10 mile swim). Teams of up to 5 swimmers will swim a total of 10 miles, presumably 2 miles each. Teams with fewer than 5 swimmers must also complete the full 10 miles.
• The course is a triangular 1 mile lap around marked buoys.
• Swimmers must swim at least 1 mile before being relieved by the next swimmer at the water’s edge. Any swimmer may swim 2 or more miles for their team.
• Teams may divide up the laps and the order of swim any way they wish. Two swimmers from the same team cannot swim at the same time and count that as multiple laps.
• Swimmers must check-in with a timekeeper (at the water’s edge) after each mile. Make sure the timekeeper has your swimmer# and team name as you exit or enter the water!
• The hand-off between team members is via a hand slap. The start time of the next swimmer is the same as the finish time of the previous swimmer. The finishing lap swimmer is responsible for communication of start and finish of lap.
• Timekeepers will keep record lap times and swimmer. Information will be posted on the wall behind the lifeguard station.
• Swimmers may wear wetsuits and fins, but this will be considered for only the combined age category team awards and not eligible for Top Male Team, Top Female Team or Solo category awards.
• If your team has less than 5 members, the total combined age category will be the average age of your members times 5
• Awards for the Top Donation Team and Teams winning each category presented at the end of the event, approximately 1:00 PM
