The triathlon's swimming event will occur at the Quarry Beach Park, an unheated, outdoor, sand-bottomed facility managed by the Batavia Park District.
The 400 meter course will be marked by buoys, and lifeguards will be on duty to assist swimmers in need of help.
The pool is not heated, so the temperature of the water is cool - typically in the range of 65-70 degrees F. Wetsuits are legal, and even encouraged for slower swimmers.
