2023 Open Water Swimming Clinic & Practice
Thursday May 18th - Longview Lake Swim Beach
Thursday May 18th - Longview Lake Swim Beach
Open Water Swim Session and Clinic will be held again this year on Thursday, May 18th at the Longview Lake Swim Beach (site of the transition area for the KC Triathlon).
Clinic will include a safe opportunity to get into the Lake prior to the first local race of the season. We will present Ten Tips for Better Open Water Swimming with a Q&A session to follow at two separate times during the evening. Beach Opens at 5:30p. Athletes can swim as much as they'd like from 5:45 to 7:30p.
Wetsuits and a swim buoy are highly recommended. XTERRA Wetsuits is supporting the event and we have a discount code available for all Clinic participants. If you don't have a wetsuit or swim buoy and are interested in ordering one, contact me at ken@mwtricoach.com. Please Note - Every year we get panicked athletes contacting us at the last minute about how to get a wetsuit. There is nowhere locally that you can rent or buy wetsuits. Please do not wait until a few days before the clinic/race to order one. This clinic is sanctioned by USA Triathlon. All participants must be USAT Annual Members or purchase a One-Day License. Registration is $40. Online registration open until 11a on May 18th. After that you are welcome to register & pay for the event at the door; we will accept cash, check or VENMO. |
