When you registered you chose your start 'wave'.
MASS START
Each distance has a restricted number of spots for the mass start wave. If you are in the mass start wave, you will be called down to the start ramp, enter the water and wait until all those that are in the mass start have entered the water and moved toward the start line. You will tread water until the start marshal counts down and starts everyone in that wave at the same time.
ROLLING START
Each distance has a 'start window'. All swimmers will queue near the start area and make their way down the entry ramp, onto the start pontoon and enter the water at your own pace. Your timing chip will start once you cross the mats on the entry pontoon.
If you are swimming with friends or family, simply line up together within your start window and set off at your own pace.
