Format
Both the men’s and women’s events feature 25 swimmers who set off in a ‘mass start’. The Rio 2016 course will comprise a circuit, with a minimum depth of 1.4m, marked by buoys that competitors must swim around.
Swimmers are marked with their number for identification and a microchip bracelet on their wrists to record their time. Any swimmer without their chip at the end is disqualified.
The finish line is marked by a touch panel, at least 5m wide, which is suspended above the water. Swimmers must touch this panel to record their arrival.
Officials
A team of six time keepers and finish judges are divided between the pontoon and a boat on the opposite side of the finish line. They record the finishing order and provide back-up timings.
Safety
Officials on boats follow the swimmers along the course to monitor the race and ensure that competitors are safe. The water temperature is checked two hours before the race and must be between 16ºC and 31ºC.
