Age Group Start Times

Tentative 2008 Age Group Start Times:

 

The following table shows example wave start times for the five Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon Age-Groups. This schedule is subject to changes based on registration numbers as we get closer to the event date. There will be many waves in each age-group but your athlete must be at the event no less than one hour before the FIRST wave in his/her age-group to allow time to setup his/her transition area and be ready to swim. Start times are based on the racer's bib number. Your race packet will have your athlete's specific bib number and wave start time.

Note: DeAnza has 20 lanes in the main pool and 7 lanes in the adjacent diving pool
