CHANGE IN OPEN WATER SWIM LOCATION: As of Oct. 1, 2009
Due to the work being conducted at Triathletes Beach and surrounding areas the location for Team Hammerheads Open Water Swims will be changed starting Saturday, October 3.
Basically, the direction of the swim will be reversed. Now it will start from the 1/2 mile mark of the existing course and go in the direction of Triathletes Beach, that is, towards Miami. After the regular Pow Wow we will start back to the starting point for a one mile total swim. Athletes wanting to go longer could continue swimming to "the wall" and back for a two mile total swim.
There are two options for parking. One is the Marine Stadium accross from the beach and then cross the road to our new swim start spot. The other is further down to the front of Mast Academy. There you make a right into the access road (the one parallel to the causeway) and drive back as close as possible to the new swim start (1/2 mile mark).
Notice that there are no showers at the new starting and ending points of the swim. If you want to rinse either drive to one of the public rest rooms or bring a jug with fresh water.
This change will remain in effect until further notice.

Below is where we typically meet, but the above notice is in effect while the renovations take place to this region...

Team Hammerhead Open Water Swims:

Triathletes Beach (aka Hobie Beach) in Key Biscayne is located on the South side (right side driving from Miami) of the Rickenbacker causeway, immediately after the tall bridge (about 1-1.5 miles from the toll booth) make immediate right into the parking lot.
Dates and Times: Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 7AM, Saturdays at 7:30AM- Starting times vary.
Distances:
The Team swims parallel to shore towards the Sea Aquarium, approximately 1 mile away. You can swim any distance you want. There are buoys to mark other distances. Usually the group has been swimming about 1/2 of a mile out before turning back for a total distance of 1 mile. (At the turn around the Team usually has a break where the faster swimmers wait for the slower swimmers before starting the return swim).
There are restrooms and an outdoor fresh water shower to rinse after the swim.

Sunday ride is out of Coco Plum Cirlce (intersection of Le Jeune Road and Sunset Drive). Please arrive early and have your gear together. Typically there will be 3 pace groups - 18mph or less, 20mph or less, 22mph+. Distances vary. ABSOLUTELY no one is allowed to ride with the group without a helmet.
