The Olympic is 2 loops (staying in the water) of its course. The Sprint is one loop of its course. The Super Sprint is one loop of its course. (all 3 courses are different) You may stop and rest during any portion of the swim by holding onto the watercraft that will be available but you may NOT make forward progress.
