INFORMATION POINT AND PACK PICK-UP

TIMING CHIP

This is your unique timing chip assigned to record your time, as well as let the swim tracker team know exactly when you enter and exit the water. Your timing chip only activates once you cross over the timing mat under the start gantry, so when the hooter sounds, there’s no need to rush into the water. Take your time and enjoy the experience. Your timing chip will automatically track your time when you walk across the timing mat at the finish, so there is no need to do anything else to record your time.

TIMING CHIP INSTRUCTIONS

This chip is assigned specifically to you and is used to accurately record your time, as well as notify the swim tracker team exactly when you enter and exit the water. Please attach your unique timing chip securely to either ankle and tuck it under your wetsuit if you are wearing one. For better security and fit, ensure the strap is snug but comfortable, and that the chip is not loose or exposed. This also helps to make check-in at the start line smoother for our volunteers. At the finish, simply walk across the timing mat - your chip will automatically register your completion time. After you have finished, we ask that you remove your chip and place it in the collection baskets - our team will be on hand to assist with this. There’s nothing more you need to do to ensure your time is recorded.
