Does anyone know how far apart the buoys are outside of the swim beach at Aurora? I want to get one open water swim in before the Crescent Moon on Sunday. My GPS watch is acting up and I'm worried I will not be able to tell the distance.

Last time I swam there I believe it was 100 yards end to end.

The loop at the scuba beach is ~500 m if that helps any. (I prefer swimming there over the swim beach)
