I've heard that the Body Glove boat is anchored and you can swim out to it to get coffee in the week before the race. Is that correct? How far out is it? The full 1.2 miles like race day?

Thanks!

It’s not the Body Glove boat. There’s a Coffees of Hawaii outrigger canoe that anchors about 400M from the swim start that serves coffee.

Look for dolphins near there, especially early in the morning.

Start from 'dig me' beach the little strip of sand just to the left (facing the pier) of the pier. Starting on the hotel beach on the other side of the pier would have you swim behind the pier and that's dangerous due to boat traffic.
