Time Trial Series
Swim for speed in the South River!
Competitive swimmers spend loads of time training in the pool following the black line. Here is a chance to switch it up and to challenge swim skills and mental toughness!
It’s true the water visibility in the South River isn’t like pool water. And that we don’t typically pass through a strand of river grass in the pool to trigger our adrenaline! It’s because of, not despite of this, that the open water is a must experience for swimmers of all ages and goals! Learning to perform at high intensity levels outside of comfort zones is immeasurably rewarding.
This series includes (4) occasions to participate in a timed 1 mile or 1/2 mile swim. It is open to ages 10 and up. Athletes will wear a timing chip and compete in age-group wave starts. Come to as many of the events as possible to track and compare progress over the series. For extra fun, athletes will score points for their USA Swimming Club, Triathlon Club, or USMS Team for team rankings.
Safety visibility buoys are *required* for swimmers to enter the water. Registration closes promptly at NOON on the days of the swims. Walk- ins are not permitted.
