Get in a practice swim in Offatts Bayou just around the bend from the 70.3 swim course. An approximate 400 meter course will be set with large OWS buoys and there will be safety personnel in the water at all times. You are free to swim as much as you would like to in the given time.
Parking is located at the New Life Fellowship directly next door to the Galveston RV Resort. Please park at the church and walk over the beach at the RV resort. Please note- there are no changing facilities available.
Important- the swim is located at an RV resort with residents and guests that we do not want to disturb. Parking is limited, so please arrive within your selected time, park only in designated areas, and keep noise to a minimum.
The practice swim will be held rain or shine but is subject to cancellation if conditions are too dangerous.

The Captain's Wave:
The Captain's Wave is for those athletes that have their sea legs and are experienced triathletes wanting to race, and is designed to add additional safety and fairness within the races. If your athlete is on a racing team, has a coach, routinely places in other youth races, and wants to test their skills against the other experienced athletes, then the athlete may qualify to compete in the Captain's Wave. Your athlete should be familiar with all aspects of triathlon, including the rules and regulations for youth triathlons (drafting, spacing, passing, etc), and should have competed in a number of triathlons prior to this event. If you’re not sure which division is right for your athlete, send the Captain an email and we’ll help you figure it out.
The Captain's Waves have separate awards from the age group division and only compete against each other. The athletes are numbered from oldest to youngest, and awards are based on the number of participants.
