Olympic Triathlon participants enjoy the “Olympic Course” two lap swim at Hubbles Lake. Allan Beach features a large sandy area for the start and finish. We use a mass start so seed your self appropriately. This is a calm lake and the course is well marked and we will have a large contingent of lifeguards and kayakers to ensure your safe completion. Swimmers will proceed into the transition zone and attach their timing chip to their team cyclist’s ankle who are waiting at their designated rack.
