The water temperature during the swim is expected to be between 55 and 60 degrees F. Wetsuits are required and will be checked before the swim to make sure they provide the proper insulation. No shorties will be allowed. Anyone wishing to do the swim without a wetsuit must obtain written permission from the Event Organizers when they register. Proof of completing multiple open water swims for a minimum duration of 2.5 hours in sub 60 degree water is required for anyone wishing to swim without a wetsuit.

Professionalism:

The AFS is a physical challenge that can only be accomplished through coordinated teamwork and a spirit of shared responsibility for the safety of all participants.

At the AFS we pay homage to the best of the best that paid the ultimate sacrifice by matching their professionalism and tactical acumen with like professionalism and tactical acumen.

Two critical principles for a successful and safe AFS:

1. This is a Team Event.

2. Accountability is mandatory.
