Yellow leaders swim caps:
A fun new initiative at the PowerBar Deep Water Bay Swim Series this year will be the introduction of yellow leaders swim caps. The leaders of each category will be presented with a yellow swim cap at the prize presentation which they will wear at the next race so that their fellow competitors know who is the man or woman to beat in their age group. At the first event, the category winners from the 2006 event will be given the yellow swim caps.
Course Map and Description:
The swim begins at Middle Island. Participants need to make their own way from registration to the race start. This is done by walking along Seaview Promenade and swimming 100m across to Middle Island. Volunteers will be present offering directions.
