If you are looking to be more relaxed and faster in open water swimming, have quicker transitions times or just an opportunity to get inn a great workout, our Open Water Swim Clinics are for you.

In preparation for the triathlon season, Triathlon Ready is hosting several open water swim clinics, allowing you to be ready to race! Learn how to swim in a lake for a race or for fun! This class is a must for preparing for the swim portion of a triathlon or for an open water swim of any type.

There is more to swimming than just doing lap after lap, turning when you reach the wall at the end of the pool. You can swim in places with no walls – open water. Lakes, oceans, rivers offer a great change of scenery.
