Get Ready to Conquer the Tri Goddess Triathlon Course!
Are you participating in the upcoming Tri Goddess Triathlon, or just want to train like you are? Join Swim Happy for a dedicated Open Water Swim Practice Session specifically designed to help you build confidence and familiarize yourself with race-like conditions at the official swim venue! This is a unique opportunity to hone your skills and get a feel for the course layout and water environment before your big event.
Whether you're a seasoned triathlete or new to open-water swimming, this practice session is ideal for all levels. Our experienced coaches will be on hand to provide valuable tips, guidance, and support to help you navigate the open water effectively, tailored explicitly to the Tri Goddess course.
Lake swimming for beginners through advanced
Join us as we head out to beautiful Halfmoon Lake for summer swims in open water. We will guard and coach you as you enjoy a lovely evening swim. The class will be offered on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we will cater to swimmers of all levels, from beginner to advanced. There will be options to return to the start at 30 and 60 minutes, or you can stay for the full 90-minute session. To swim on either Tuesday or Thursday, you need to be able to swim continuously for 5 minutes (either freestyle or breaststroke). On Friday, we will go out for a one-hour swim, targeting intermediate to advanced swimmers who can swim the entire hour duration (again, either freestyle or breaststroke).
Swims start at 6:30 pm.
The cost is $15 per swimmer per evening.
Please bring a swim buoy and a bright cap. Darker-shaded goggles are nice for those who are more sensitive to the sunlight.
