Swimming With The Sharks

Swimming With The Sharks is a new open water swim format similar to the Running of the Bulls. Several elite male and female swimmers (the “Sharks”) will be swimming the race but will have a delayed start. The rest of the swimmers (the "Bait") decide how much of a head start they need to swim the course and stay just ahead of the "Sharks". The "Sharks" will try to catch the "Bait" before the finish.
