Thanks to all who attended the open water specific pool session last Saturday! And apologies for those who we have had to decline you from doing the open water swim due to safety reasons. But don’t worry, we will get you there on track to do an open water swim in time!
The 2nd session (open water session) will be this coming Saturday 5th September from 1030am to 12 noon at Tanjong Beach, Sentosa. This is an great opportunity for those looking to practice open water swimming under proper supervision or as a final tune up for next weekend’s TriFactor race. The session will include:
- Tips on how to swim in the open water including proper dive in, navigation, drafting, threading water etc.
- Practical application of the tips and techniques of open water swimming
- 750m/1.5km open water swim
For those who did not attend the 1st session and would like to attend this upcoming open water session, please drop an email to gerald@sportinc.net with your details asap! Spaces are limited and registration is on a first-come-first-serve basis. Fees are $30.
