General Information

Doors to the Mizzou Rec will open at 11:00 AM for athletes to check in and warm up in the pool. Heats will start at 12:00 PM and go every hour. There is no set time that you must show up by, but there will be a meeting 15 minutes before each swim start on the pool deck so plan accordingly with your heat time. Heat assignments will go out a few days before the race. Lockers and space for athletes backpacks will be provided. After each leg there will be ~10 mins gaps before the next leg starts in order to provide athletes time to change clothes. There will be awards given out for top finishers for each gender in each category.
