How does the swim work?

I am a Division 1 swimmer, and it is by far my strongest leg of the race. I don't want to be in a bad wave if at a possible? Any insight would be great!

Thanks,

(Look for the 6'4 red head swimmer in the sprint race )

I'm afraid you can't help the wave you're in; it's determined either by when you sign up or by your gender/age group. If you feel you're a strong swimmer though I would position yourself in the middle of the wave near the front, maybe in the 2nd or 3rd row of swimmers just in case there's someone in the wave you can draft with.

I first decided I was going to "do" a triathlon in 1994. It wasn't until 13 years later, in 2007 that I actually did. Why did it take me 13 years to get to the starting line? The swim!

Stroke after stroke, my pace was pulling me out into the middle of the lake quickly. The cover seemed to be getting thicker. But still in the distance, the little boathouse was my lighthouse.
