Open Water Swims Begin April 19Once again, Peluso Open Water has invited RTC members to swim for FREE with their coaches on alternating Fridays beginning April 19. Peluso Open Water specializes in open water swim training for triathletes, so this is your opportunity to be coached by local experts to prepare you for your next open water tri or swim race. You should be able to swim 100 yards without stopping to participate.
All swims take place at a private boat ramp in Tarrington near Robious Landing (directions, address in the link at the bottom). The swims start at 6 pm with a river condition briefing, safety precautions and details of the evening's workout. For safety reasons, once the swim has started, no one will be allowed to enter the water. Wetsuits are not required, but may be desirable depending on your tolerance to cold.
Registration not required, but club memberships will be validated: just bring up your membership card on your phone or print it out and present it at check-in. Guests are welcome for a $15 drop in fee.
Sometimes Mother Nature can be unpredictable, but if we know the swim is going to be cancelled before we are at the boat ramp, we will post an announcement on the RTC and POW websites as well as both Facebook and Twitter pages. If you don't see an announcement, a decision has not been made so assume the swim is on. No need to call/text/email event organizers.
Free Swim Dates: April 19, May 3, May 17, May 31, June 14, June 28, July 12, Aug 8, Aug 23, Sept 6, Sept 20, Oct 4. (Wednesday night interval swims are for POW swimmers but drops ins admitted for $15.) Directions, OWS calendar and river conditions can be found on the POW website, link below.
Richmond MultiSports will be leading swims from Rocketts Landing on May 10, May 24, June 7 and June 21, weather and river conditions permitting*. Free to RTC and USAT members and triathletes registered for RMS races in 2013. All others must pay the USA Triathlon one-day insurance fee of $12 for each swim. Validation of RTC membership or triathlon registration is required on-site for walk-ups, so bring your photo ID and RTC membership card or race registration confirmation. *More information and any changes to this schedule posted on the RMS Facebook page.
