Swimmers round the bouy and progress west towards the no boating pole lacated to the west side of the Altona beach. Upon arriving at the pole swimmers will round it in a counter clockwise fashion and swim back east to a bouy located approx halfway in between the poles where they will round it clockwise and swim back into shore where the WSTC tear flags are located and head up the beach into transition. There will be marshals to assist in directions.
