Swim

Serpentine pattern: We will start at the far end of the pool (bottom right corner of this photo). Participants will have a staggered start, and enter the pool, swimming down the lane on the right. Turn around and swim back along the same lane (staying on your right). When you get back to the same end of the pool as you started, you will swim under the buoy line and go down the right side of the next lane. Then repeat, swimming back, going under and so on and so forth. When you reach the last buoy lane, you will exit the pool and walk back to the starting lane and re-enter. If you need to pass a swimmer, go left around them, but beware of oncoming swimmers coming back down the lane.
