The RED turn buoy should be up against the "hard edge" right at the corner. In the picture, it is the point that juts out furthest to the left, not the floating dock in the foreground. Once around the corner you will not experience any current as you have crossed an eddy line. Be careful when you go to stand up on the steps. The carpet on the steps is dark, and you will likely not be able to see where you are placing your foot. Also, your legs may be a bit wobbly after the swim.
Thank you for this! I just finished my second 70.3 which was Chattanooga and now I’m considering this one for my first full. This is exactly what I was looking for.
The yellow and orange buoys are for sighting. You must go around the red the turn buoys. That said, the support personnel may keep you from venturing too far from the buoy line.
Great content!

That was excellent. Thank you for making this video.
Do you have to swim to the left or right of the bouys? Or does it matter?

RD said that you can swim about 15M on either side of the yellow buoys
Thank you!
