First OWS Event!

Thank you all! The event went great! I appreciate the encouragement and advice. All my best, Kathryn

Congrats! When is your next event?!

Thank you! I am looking at an indoor swim meet this winter. It will be my first meet in 25 years! I'd also love to train for another OWS next summer. Any midwest recommendations between 1 mile - 5K?

Good luck at the meet! Keep it up!

Here are a few 2023 USMS sanctioned open water events in the Midwest. Open water events will typically start to appear on the USMS Calendar early in the year (once they've sanctioned and are getting ready to open entries) so stay tuned!
