Transition Area Preparation
The
transition area
is located in the parking
lot of the South County
YMCA.
Individual spots will not be
assigned, but signs will
clearly designate the areas
reserved for each age group.
Athletes should have their
transition area equipment
(i.e., bike, shoes, etc) set
up at least 1/2 hour prior
to the start of the race, if
not earlier.
Transition area will close
15 minutes prior to the race
for safety and mandatory
participants meeting!
Be sure to stay clear of
the athletes during the
race! In order to
make sure everyone has room
in the transition area, each
athlete should use only the
minimum amount of space
required to place their
equipment. See the
transition area
page for more information.

Race Start
Prior to race start, all

pre-race meeting.

gym, by age group
for start time and wave
group assignments.
Please leave yourself enough
time to set-up in transition
area.
Only Athletes and Volunteers
are allowed into the YMCA
for the safety of our
athletes.
The race will begin at the pool.
The start will begin with the
oldest age group, in waves of 10
swimmers at a time, 2 per lane.
Each wave of athletes will be
assigned a swim start time, with
the first wave starting
at 9:00am.
Athletes and
volunteers only will be allowed
in the pool area
due to very
limited space!!

Participants 11 – 20 – Wave #2:
Start time 9:05am

Until the age group is
finished. We will then break
and allow the entire age group
to complete the bike portion of
the race before calling in the
next age group.
All other participants will be
seated on the bleachers in their
waves or in the gymnasium
awaiting to be called into the
pool area. Each wave will have
a volunteer coordinator.
Swimmers will be called into the
pool by wave number. It is the
athlete's responsibility to get
to the gym to line up with their
wave. Volunteers
will assist the
athletes in the staging area.
Parents are not allowed
in
the staging area.
When a
wave is called to the swim
start, the participants then follow
volunteer instructions to their
lane assignments. At the
whistle, approx. 1 minute later,
the swim begins. The athletes will
swim their required number of
laps in their lane. Counters
will be monitoring each child.
At the end of the swim they will
walk to the pool and enter
the
transition
area.
Please
read all event instructions,
precautions, and
policies.
Everyone
associated with
SUPERKids Triathlon

a wonderful event. We're sure
you will agree on race day.
