Swimming in the open water can be daunting and swimming with 500 of your closest friends can be highly stressful. For those of you racing Mountain Man in Flagstaff, in a few weeks or any other triathlon or swim event, the best way to minimize this stress is to practice.

We are looking for 15 or more swimmers, triathletes, or anyone who would like to have fun swimming with a group while practicing swimming near and around others to join us. The bigger the group the better the training and the greater the fun. You do not need to be a member of Orange Swim Buoys Tri Club or One Multi-Sport to participate in this training session.

Please RSVP below so we can plan appropriately.

There are a few requirements to attend this practice swim.
1. You must have a Swim Safety Buoy – it must be attached to your body when you get in the water.
2. You must be able to swim 400 Yards non-stop
3. A Tonto Parking Pass – you can purchase a parking pass at the gate kiosk or click here to find a retail location.

Our practice session will be as follows:
Schedule of the morning:
6:00 AM – Introductions and session briefing.
6:10 – Enter the water to knee-deep level and group together so we are all about 3-4 feet apart
6:12 – Start swimming at the whistle
Swim about 75 Yards to the first buoy. Turn around and swim back
Repeat 2 more times
After the three practice swim starts you will have time to do an individual swim, if you’d like, and meet us back at the Ramada for the 7:30 raffle.
We will have snacks and cold drinks available – depending on the number of RSVPs we plan to have muffins, doughnuts, bananas, chocolate chip cookies, water, and Gatorade.
Raffle 7:30 AM – Raffle – the following items will be raffled. You must be present to win.
Orange Swim Buoys Running Cap.
