THE EVENT:
The Daytona Frogman will be held on March 21, 2010. It is a USAT-sanctioned, olympic distance triathlon, consisting of a 1500 meter ocean swim, 40K bike and a 10K run. In addition to the standard USAT age group categories, there will be categories for military and challenged athletes. There will NOT be an elite division or prize money.
Atlantic Ocean swims can be demanding, be prepared for the challenge. Wetsuits will be legal, unless there is an unusual change in ocean temperature for that time of year. March ocean temps can vary from year to year but are generally in the 60's. The swim course will be well staffed with EMT/lifeguards from the Volusia County Beach Patrol, on paddleboards, personal water craft and in boats. In the event that ocean conditions become unsafe, the decision to cancel the swim for safety reasons will be a joint decision between the race director and the swim course coordinator. The swim will be started in waves on 3 minute intervals. USAT officials will be on the course insuring a fair race for all. Please adhere to all USAT rules, as they will be enforced.
THE CAUSE:
100% of the net proceeds is being donated to the Naval Special Warfare Foundation which supports the men and their families of Naval Special Warfare (NSW).
THE FOUNDATION:
The Naval Special Warfare Foundation was founded in 2000 by former members of NSW. Their mission is to provide educational and motivational support for the Naval Special Warfare Foundation community, promote health and welfare, and perpetuate the history and heritage of the U.S. Naval Commandos.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Cyclists will exit the park onto SR A1A, travel along the public streets of Daytona Beach Shores and adjacent cities, returning to the park.
