We're often asked, "Why do you send the Minuteman waves off first?" We do this for safety reasons. Starting the sprint waves first ensures those athletes are in and out of the water before athletes in the half begin to exit the swim. This eliminates any overlap of sprint and half swimmers at the swim exit which makes the job of tracking athletes in each race more manageable.
