Open Water Swim Meetup

Join us for an water swim meetup!

Doing Landshark on Sunday, 5/31 or another early season open water event? Looking for open water swim swim buddies? Looking to get in some practice swimming with a group for your open water events this season? Come join our open water swim meetup to get in some practice and meet other swimmers prepping for events. 

For safety purposes, all swimmers must be able to swim 200 yards nonstop to join in this meetup (any stroke, no pace requirements).

Please note, this event is NOT a swim clinic. While there will be lifeguards and volunteers on paddleboards, our primary goal is helping to keep the swimmers safe and helping to connect the swim community, so there will not be a clinic portion at this event. 

Personal swim buoys are REQUIRED for this event. You will not be allowed to get in the water without one. You can purchase one HERE with code 2026triityourway for 20% off. We have a limited number that we can lend out, so please email anne@triityourway.com to reserve one if yours will not arrive in time.

Location: Lake Gardner
79 High Street, Amesbury, MA
9:45-10 am: Arrive
10-10:15 am: Intros and on shore warmup
10:15-11 am: Swim time! Groups will be split into distance/duration and pacing preference for the swim
11-11:15 am - all swimmers out of the water 

This event is hosted by Tri It Your Way Coaching in partnership with SHEcoast Multisport and Great Bay Masters. While we do have guards and volunteers at the meetup, each swimmer is responsible for their own safety and we will utilize the buddy system and checkin points.
