Open Water Swim Triathlon

We are all ready to get outside to start training for the summer race season. Part of that is starting our open water swim program.

If you want any coaching at these clinics, please contact us so we can make arrangements to have a coach work with you. Watch for our clinic nights where you can learn from our coaches in a small group setting.

All swims are monitored open water swims with swim buoys, lifeguards, kayakers to watch swimmers and help them become better in open water swims for their upcoming races. 1-2 Lifeguards certified in open water swimming present at each event. These lifeguards are open water swim certified.

Additional kayakers on the water each Monday night and weekend clinic to patrol for safety. We are always looking for volunteers to kayak for these. We do trade kayaking for free swimming!

Swimmers must be a USAT Member or purchase a 1 day membership for the swims and clinics. This is our insurance and is required.

Directions:

  • From 79, take the Portersville exit.

  • Go E. Portersville Rd

  • Take an immediate LEFT onto Badger Hill Rd. all the way down to the cove.

  • It turns into a dirt road the closer you get to the cove

    3 runners of each age category to earn medals. This will encourage friendly competition and

    bonding within the community, and it will give people the opportunity to get moving outside

    during the summer! Participant receives all risk for the course The course itself will include

    ambient lighting throughout to show the runners the unseen beauty of Shenango Township and
