Open Water Swim
Come join us for an open water swim!
All abilities are welcome, so if you haven't gotten in the open water yet, now's a good time! If you're nervous, you can just stand in the water or do a short swim to help increase your comfort level. Every time you get in it gets easier!
If you're a seasoned swimmer, you can do a long, continuous swim.
This is also the location of the Escape From the Rock Triathlon, so if you're planning on doing it you can check out the race site.
