SWIM COURSE MARKINGS
Swim courses will be set with the help o the Austin Rowing Club. We plan to use a
submerged cable system similar to what is used in rowing competitions, which has
very small red bobbers marking the cable. Very large marker buoys will be used to
mark the turns and smaller intermediate marker buoys will mark the course.
SWIM STAGING
Swim staging by wave starts will be on the trail to the west o the Stevie Ray
Vaughn statue. Family, riends, and spectators will be allowed in the area but will
be separated rom the staged athletes by crowd-control encing.
SWIMMING ANXIETY
Anxiety at the start o the swim is the largest hurdle most athletes ace in a
triathlon. We strongly encourage everyone, especially rst-timers, to have at least
one practice swim in open water. We highly recommend that your practice be at
Barton Springs Pool, which will be similar to the temperature and conditions oLady Bird Lake. I you experience overwhelming anxiety when you start your race,
stop and do everything possible to calm yoursel down and catch your breath.
Signal to the water saety personnel that you need assistance. Its better to take a
couple o minutes to regroup in order to continue than to risk your saety.
SWIMMER SAFETY
The Water Saety Crew has the nal word on whether an athlete will be allowed to
continue i there is a question regarding an athletes ability to nish saely or within
the allowed time limit. I you do not nish the swim, it is mandatory that you reportto the timing team or an ocial o the race. Notiy them that you are out o the
water and surrender your chip.

2013 USA TRIATHLON PACKET PICKUP GUIDE
Event sanctioning and insurance compliance require every participant of a USA Triathlon sanctioned event to be a member of USATriathlon and to present a photo ID. NO PHOTO ID, NO RACE, NO EXCEPTIONS.Event materials, timing chips, race numbers,
swag, etc. should not be given to the athlete until membership and photo ID requirements have been met. Every participant isregarded as an individual for membership purposes. This includes each participant of a relay team.
There are two types of USAT memberships:
1. Annual Membershipa. Annual members must show proof of a current membership in order to participant. If proof is not
available then the participant must purchase a one-day license or renew their membership.b. Youth (age 17 and under) = $15c. Adult (age 18 and older) = $45
2. One-day Licensea. Youth (age 17 and under) = $10b. Adult (age 18 and older) = $12
In an effort to go green, USAT will not send athlete waivers unless necessary. The application form can be printed by visiting theDocuments tab of the race directors online account. If an annual USAT member can not show proof of current membership, they wilneed to sign the waiver and either purchase a one-day license or renew their annual membership. Do not give the waiver and
membership application to athletes to take home. These are to be completed at the race venue.
How to Complete the USAT Membership Application
1. Member shows photo ID. This is MANDATORY!2. Member fills the waiver and membership application out completely. MemberMUST sign waiver.3. Registration worker accepts payment, verifies proper signatures and credit card information (if applicable). Only
cash and checks are accepted forms of payment for one-day memberships. Credit cards can be used for annualmemberships.
4. Registration worker retains top sheet of the waiver and membership application, then provides the yellow copy tomember as proof of purchase.
Explanation of Membership OptionsThe same waiver and membership application can be used whether the athlete is renewing or purchasing a new membership. Pleaserefer the athlete to our website for a complete listing of benefits offered at www.usatriathlon.org. Members need to allow 6-8 weeksfor processing.
Adult - $45, for all adults turning 18 and over that wish to purchase an annual membership.
Youth - $15, for athletes turning 17 and younger, the benefits are the same as our regular adult membership andinclude a special gift.
Tax-deductible contribution - We always appreciate donations if the athlete is willing.
Adult with Credit - $33, if an athlete has already purchased a one-day license for the event, this can be applied toan annual membership by paying the balance due. If the participant has an on-line receipt they would like to submitas credit toward membership they will also need to complete the waiver and membership application. Only onereceipt can be used per annual membership.

Payment Methods
Annual membership: Cash, Check, Visa or MasterCard
One-day membership: Cash or Check Only. If a participant only has a credit card, they will need to find anATM, borrow money from a friend or purchase an annual membership. USAT does not accept credit cardpayment for one-day licenses
Troubleshooting
Other triathlon federation memberships are not recognized by USA Triathlon. Participants must purchase a one
day membership or show proof of a current annual USAT membership Foreign elites are also subject to the same requirements. They must purchase a one-day license or show proof o
a current USAT foreign elite license
U.S. Elites must show proof of a current elite USAT membership or they may not race. If an elite races as anamateur they are subject to suspension and/or further penalties
Post Race Responsibilities1. Upon completion of annual membership sales, the race director completes the USAT accounting sheet.2. Race director then submits completed accounting sheet, all annual waiver and membership applications and
payments to USAT using the prepaid UPS shipping label (included in the sanction approval box). This must bepostmarked within 15 business days of the event. The RD will receive a late fee fine of $200 if the post-racematerials are not postmarked correctly.
FAQ
A member forgets or has lost their membership card; what options do they have?
1. Purchase a one-day license. They can apply the one-day fee towards their renewal fee at a later date. Make sure theycomplete the membership application and the event waiver. Give them the yellow copy of the waiver and membershipapplication as a receipt. They will need to submit this with their application in order to receive the discount.
2. Renew their annual license with USA Triathlon. Membership will be extended one year from their current expiration date.3. Find a computer with internet access and print their card from the USAT website. As a race director, you may want to
provide internet access for this reason.4. The Race Director can check memberships (should they choose) via the online dashboard.
An athlete either does not have their membership card or it is expired, but insists they are a current annual member of USA
Triathlon. They refuse to purchase a one-day membership, can they participate?NO. Allowing this athlete to participate could render the event insurance null and void. Do not allow this athlete to participate withoua one-day license or an annual membership.
Can a credit card be used to purchase a one-day license?
NO. Only cash or check is accepted. You may suggest that they find an ATM or borrow money from a friend.
An athlete shows up to race as an Elite without proof of a current annual membership with USAT. Can they still participate?
NO. Elites know they must bring proof of their current elite membership to all events in order to participate as an Elite. Only ForeignElites may purchase a one day license ONLY if their current Elite Federation license is shown. They also risk suspension if theyattempt to then race as an amateur.
Do I need to see a photo ID if someone is purchasing an annual membership?
YES. Event sanctioning and insurance compliance require a photo ID to be presented when an annual or one-day membership is
purchased. Verification of a photo ID also protects yourself and the member from the possibility of credit card fraud.
What forms of payment are acceptable for annual memberships?Cash, check, Visa and MasterCard are all acceptable forms of payment.
What is the CVV # and how do I find it?
The CVV # is a 3 digit security code found on the back of the credit card in the signature line. It is required that this information beprovided in order to process a credit card transaction.

Howcanamilyandriendsmeetupwithanathleteafertherace? The best
plan is to establish a post-race meeting spot and have a reasonable estimate o
what time the athlete is expected to nish his/her race. The announcers will
be calling out the athletes names as they nish, but it is not guaranteed that all
athletes will be announced.
Whatianathletehastroubleduringtherace? I an athlete experiences
problems or an emergency during the race, race ocials will attempt to contact
the person listed as the athletes emergency contact. It is very important that the
person listed as the emergency contact is available via the phone number providedby the athlete.

line (this is a secured area). There will be another medical station set up near
the swim nish, and medical personnel will be located at each o the course aid
stations.
