The Course:
The route begins at the starting beach Royal Beach Hotel. The route forms the shape of a counter clockwise, whose sides are 250m, 806m, 844m, totaling 1900m. Full distance swim is two laps into the rug out from the first measurement. This route avoids all conflict and confusion among swimmers since the triangular face will space "sterile". Swimming is clockwise so the rest of the triangle will be the first side for swimming. This side will be near the beach and the marina's dock in East and will enable fans watch the swimmers closely.
