Open Water Swim Clinic

Regina Beach--This date has passed. Look back for next year!

RMC is hosting ANOTHER FREE open water swim clinic on Tuesday August 15 at Regina Beach.   We are thrilled that RMC Swim Coach Jackie “First Out of the Water” Hatherly will once again coach a session that will challenge all levels of athletes.

 

This clinic is a good opportunity for members travelling to Riding Mountain Triathlon, or other late season races, to fine tune their open water skills.  No more events this year? No problem – all members are welcome!

 

Please be at the beach by 6:15pm. Swimmers will be in the water from about 6:30pm to 7:30pm.  This clinic is open to all RMC members, a STAC membership is also required for insurance purposes.

 

If the weather is poor on August 15 we will try to move the swim to the following evening.

 

And yes, the water will be green.  We will monitor and make alternative plans or cancel if necessary.
