Swim Across America Charlotte takes place in Lake Norman and features an in-water start with the water temperature historically in the low 80’s so wetsuits are hardly ever permitted. The rectangular shaped course starts right at the beach at the YMCA. The water is usually very flat as the course is situated in a protected area of the lake that is sheltered from the wind.
