Swim:
Never swam on it, but it's protected. Behind a break water, and then further shielded by a state "park"/reclaimed land... Should be very calm swimming.
Bike:
Much of the course is actually an interstate highway - good luck riding that. I'm not real familiar with the portion of the course down in St. Francis or Cudahy, but it's flat. The northern portion of the bike course on Lincoln Memorial drive is pretty flat, though there is a hill at the very north most portion of it prior to the turn around, but it's not bad.
The Hoan bridge is a bit on the shady side in terms of tarmac condition, but I believe the rest of the course to be good quality road.
Run:
Flat, Flat and more flat. The toughest part will be when you run by Alterra coffee and resisting the urge to stop and get some breakfast.
