Coaching Tip: Know your realistic Ironman swim time and start 5 minutes ahead of that wave. For example, if you are a 1:10 IM swimmer, start in the 1:05 pack as most people don’t know their swim times and greatly exaggerate their ability. Start more towards the front of the rolling swim waves in order to avoid the crowds. And whatever you do, FOLLOW THE UNDERWATER SWIM CABLE! There is no need to open water sight at all on this course—just get on the cable and follow it!
