Open Water Swim Practice Session #1
Wed, Jul 22 · 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM · Rotary Sunshine Park · St. John’s, NL
Practice sessions will have safety support from water craft and lifeguards. Practice Sessions are intended for competent swimmers only, who are looking for an introduction to swimming in open water, or to develop their open water swimming skills and technique. These are not “learn-to-swim” sessions, but it is okay to be new to swimming in general, so long as you are able to move competently through the water on your own, and comfortable in water over your head. Sessions are free to Triathlon NL members, or you can purchase a day membership as part of registration. Participants should be suited up and ready to start by 6:30 PM. There are no change rooms available, although there are toilet stalls which could be used for such a purpose. It is highly recommended that you DO NOT bring valuables to the event or down to the beach. Triathlon NL is not responsible for the loss or theft of any of your belongings.
