Athletes must enter the water across the timing mat at the boat ramp beside the Marine Rescue building in Westport Park. The swim begins with a deep-water start.

It is a mass start and athletes should self-seed according to their swimming ability. Athletes swim approximately 600m north towards the Marina and Sails resort.  They then veer right and continue north east for approximately 600 m to the first turnaround points which are approximately 75m apart .  Athletes then swim approximately 600m south and then veer slightly left opposite Sails Resort and swim approximately 300m towards the CBD to make another two right hand turns approximately 50m apart. Athletes then return north to complete the second turn points and return again to the south turnarounds and then again head north for approximately 100m but opposite the boat ramp then make a left turn to the Westport Park boat ramp which is the swim finish.

After crossing the timing mat and passing through the showers athletes turn right and proceed approximately 100m along the roadway and then turn left into the Swim-to-Bike transition marquee in the bottom car park after collecting their bike gear bag .
