Open Water Swim Clinics - Feb 28th and March 1

I am conducting 2 open-water swim clinics, on the last weekend of the month in San Diego, one on Saturday, and another on Sunday. If you are entered for SuperFrog, SuperSeal, or Oceanside, this is a great chance to get in the water and learn, refresh and practice the skills you need for those race events! I am only allowing 15 people per clinic, and these always sell-out, so respond quickly.
