Competitors shall commence from the start line, run along
the beach to the green and yellow turning flag, pass around the flag, enter the
water, swim to and around the buoys, return to shore, again rounding the green
and yellow flag and return to the finish line marked by two green or arena coloured finish flags.
Note: Competitors may touch buoys and buoy ropes, but it is not permitted for competitors to use the buoy ropes to drag themselves along the course to reach their allotted buoy.
