DC Tri Club Day at Crossing Currents: Open Water Race Simulation 🌊
Get ready for a great early-season training opportunity with our partners at Crossing Currents Aquatics!
On the morning of Sunday, May 17, join your fellow club members in Riva, Maryland for an open water race simulation designed to help you experience what it feels like to start a swim with everyone going at once—just like on race day. It’s a great way to practice open water skills, get comfortable with the energy of a group start, and build confidence for the season ahead.
Crossing Currents will be setting up a mock swim race to help us get those starting line vibes. Choose from a 400 or 600 meter loop to be timed, rest in between rounds, and then try to beat the previous time on the second round.
Tentative schedule:
9:30-9:45 warmup
9:50 1st round timed distance of choice
10:40 2nd round timed distance of choice
Stay around afterwards if you would like to go to brunch.
If you would like to participate, you will need to register for the Sunday Open Water Session on May 17 with Crossing Currents. Remember to login to your Crossing Currents account or create a Crossing Currents account if you don’t have one in order to save 10% on the swim and other events. Please see the Redeem Discounts page on our website for info on how to create an account that is associated with the club.
