Performance: Good
The swim course was very shallow all the way around. I swam almost right away even though people were running. The strange part was to sight at the half way point and see people stand. I stayed mostly away from the washing machine, but I did have a few people stand up in front of me that I had to get around. The last 10 feet or so were trough on the feet. I will have to use dolphin dive next year.
