Open Water Swim tags
Attach your tag to either ankle with strap.
Active Tags
These battery powered tags are attached around your ankle by a strap. Your event director will determine the type of strap supplied.
You may wear the active tag either under, or on top of, a wetsuit. The active tags will read straight out of the water when worn under your wetsuit
RFID Tags
These passive tags are attached around your ankle by a strap. Your event director will determine the type of strap supplied.
RFID tags do not read when covered by water. On exiting water a wetsuit will trap water for a period of time. The trapped water inhibits RFID tag performance. When a swimming event uses RFID tags wear the tag over, or clear of, your wetsuit.
Neoprene strap
Thread active tag onto strap through the tag's "wings". Firmly close velcro. Wrap strap around your ankle and firmly close strap.
You may wear the active tag either under, or on top of, a wetsuit. The active tags will read straight out of the water when worn under your wetsuit

Please note that as sand reduces the adhesive capability of velcro we recommend that if using your own strap you check your velcro prior to fitting the tag.
Disposable strap
Thread strap through active tag's "wings". Wrap strap around either ankle. Push clip through hole in strap and snap dome firmly shut. Please note that the strap will not stay on your ankle if you do not snap the dome firmly shut and you will lose the strap and tag.

N.B. while the strap is disposable you must return the tag.
