The meet continues tomorrow, 8 a.m., and starts again at 4 p.m. The SSC will then hold an ocean swim on Sunday, with registration at 7 a.m. and the race launching an hour later.
The three-day competition expects 120 swimmers, according to SSC coach Lisa Kimball. Local participants will be joined by Guam’s Manukai Athletic Club and Tarakito Swim Club.
