A set of horizontal ladders set either on an angle or flat.  This element works much like a set of monkey bars.  The participant will use their hands to traverse uphill on the first ladder and then downhill on the second series of bars.  The element is designed so that a portion of the participants body is always in the water .

This element is a simple horizontal bar hanging from two ropes where the participants objective is to transfer from bar to bar to bar followed by a series of 3 Overhead Rings.  The spacing of the bars can be adjusted to change the level of difficulty.

This element is a 36” diameter hoop that’s submerged underwater so you can navigate your way to the next challenge to get you started. All participants begin the course while in the pool water taking off from the wall and swimming through this element.

This element includes a series of 4 round discs at the end of a rope with the disc positioned slightly beneath the water surface. The challenge for the participant is to pull themselves up the rope and position their feet onto the disc and transfer from disc to disc using their hands on the ropes and their feet to balance themselves on the set of 4 Sea Discs.  This will test any competitors balance, agility and strength.

At 16 inches wide and with a 10-degree taper on the top side, this hold will help increase your balance and pinch strength substantially. Letting go with one hand will bank the UFO to the opposite side, making holding onto it almost impossible, but proper training technique will yield excellent results for forearm and upper body strength.  

All warriors are familiar with the round red Timer Bombs to grab hold of as you finally reach for the finish line.

This is a series of 3 elements submerged at various water depths to challenge the best of swimmers.    

The stop button is your reward at the finish line so you can see your elapsed time and jump right back in line to better your score  and challenge the leader.
