2 SWIMSTREAM TM START Here's how it works: Participants will be allowed to self-determine at which time they begin the swim portion of the Newport Triathlon. Those with the fastest anticipated swim time will be encouraged to start in the earliest grouping or stream. For the MegaSprint and Sprint it would be below 11 minutes; for the Super Sprint it would be below 6 minutes. The swim chute will be no different than our previous construction or other swim starts you've seen. Volunteers will be holding a sign that has a specific time on it (similar to a run pace for a half or full marathon). Swimmers should line up in their appropriate anticipated time. Note, just like a running event, we will not force someone in a specific time/pace. It is on the honor system. This will allow some variability if friends, members of a triathlon club, co-workers from the same company, or family members want to swim together. We want swimmers to have maximum comfort and relaxation when entering the ocean. Once a stream enters the start chute, swimmers will move toward the end of the chute, cross the timing mat and proceed directly into the water. Similar to a funnel. Your time starts when you cross the SwimStream timing mat. We will have streams of approximately 100 swimmers each, and streams will continue until we get about 400 participants in the water. At this point, athletes will be allowed into the water as earlier streams of swimmers finish and come up onto the beach. Lifeguards and our swim coordinators will assist in controlling the flow of the swimmers (like turning off and on a spigot). Once the Sprint distance race is in the water, we will have a approximately 10 minute gap and then start the Super Sprint under 6-minute swimmers, and so on until all the competitors have left the beach. The Super Sprint will start once the Sprint swimmers are past the turn buoys heading south. We strongly encourage warm-ups prior to the swim start. Those will be west of the swim course and at the participant's discretion. We found that the SwimStream start allows all the competitors to get into the water nearly 55 minutes faster than the traditional wave starts, so let your cheering section know you'll be on the bike a lot faster than in previous years.
