Early Season Open Water Swim Clinic 2024
Early Season Open Water Swim Clinic 2024
Sunday, May 19th at 10am at Horseshoe Lake Park, WA
It’s been a while since we raced! Get yourself re-familiarized with swimming around other people as races begin to take place again. Open water swim clinics always provide some of the most valuable training sessions, since we spend so much of our time training in the pool instead of lakes and rivers where our events take place. Would you train for your marathon on a track? No! Also, by attending an earlier clinic, you’ll get a chance to experience some cooler water, which persists in the Pacific Northwest through most of the summer.
Here’s what to expect from the clinic:
Time: 10am-1pm
Where: Horseshoe Lake Park, Woodland WA
What: an open water swim clinic during which we will go over the following:
How to warmup for an open water swim
Mobility exercises to make you a better swimmer
Navigating open water swims and swimming straighter
Dealing with CONTACT from other swimmers
How to draft in order to save energy OR swim faster
Navigating buoys and turns
Effective start and exit strategy
How the hell do you you get out of your wetsuit?
We’ll go over all of these aspects of open water swimming and practice all of them, leaving you more confident and MORE EXCITED about open water swimming in general.
WHAT TO BRING
Snacks and hydration
Your wetsuit
Cap and goggles
Towel
An open mind!
