Watch out for the barracudas at high tide. Just high tide. Few people also got stung by jellies. Terrenzo Bozzone said on his Twitter account he got stung Saturday swimming last year. I didn't get stung at all. And the baracuda's weren't biting either. ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/wink.gif) ![](http://www.pollsb.com/photos/o/3487-barracuda.jpg)
I don't have to swim fast....Just faster than you ![Laughing Laughing](../jscripts/tiny_mce3.3rc1/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif) Did some checking - High tide on Sunday is at 6:34 - prime Baracuda time just as the Pros are getting ready For swimming the current will be flowing away from the bridge towards the bay (into our faces on the first leg of the swim ) but it doesn't get strong (.3 of a knot until 8:30 ). Should affect those in the later waves - but they also get the push at the turn around. Just one more thing to stress about..... Edited by JustTriDave 2010-06-10 8:47 AM
