I certainly hope not as IMWI is arguably the best swim venue for spectators. From the Monona Terrace Convention Center spectators can watch the entire course. I think one of the reasons for the popularity factor of IMWI is the accessibility for spectators. It is the only North American IM I've done where, due to the number and frequency of spectators, I've actually diverted into a port a potty to pee. That said, if anyone were to go under the water is so gross it would be hard to see them.
How would changing the swim to a rolling start affect the accessibility for the spectators?
