==Location==

The beauty of the one-mile course is nearly beyond comprehension.  The venue on [[Seven Mile Beach]] is simply stunning, a living aquarium.  The warm tropical crystal-clear waters gently envelopes the swimmers in the protected, nearly always flat beach. 

[[Seven Mile Beach]] is on [[Grand Cayman]] in the [[Cayman Islands]], south of Cuba and east of [[Cancún]], Mexico.  The idyllic Caribbean Sea resort welcomes the swimmers with soft sea breezes and gorgeous white sands offset by the azul sea.
