An open water clinic for novices. Want to swim open water, but not sure what to do? Concerned about cold water, crowded starts, open water “culture”?
This Open Water 101 is a way to get started. Taught by local/national/international open water swimmers.  Dryland talk by Suzanne Heim-Bowen. In water drills, optional course swim.   Limited to 50 swimmers.  Last year this clinic sold out. Contact Glenda Carroll for more information mailto:openwater at pacificmasters.org
