Portland Triathlon Club Parkrose Swim Series
About this race
Location: Parkrose High School, 12003 NE Shaver St, Portland, OR 97220
NEW for 2025-2026 we will be dividing the swim series up into two distinct sessions each Saturday in order to offer more space and better control overcrowding of lanes.
Session 1: 9:00-10:20 am
Session 2: 10:30-11:30 am
Session 1 will run from 9:00-10:20am, and session 2 will run from 10:30-11:30am. Both sessions are the same in terms of skill level (all levels are coached in each session), and the only difference between the sessions is that session 1 is 80 minutes long versus session 2 which is 60 minutes long. When you register for a session, whether the full season or drop-in, you are committing to attending that session.
Each session is capped at 48 people.
This swim series is available for PTC members only. Make sure your membership is current, and you've "claimed" your membership on the RunSignUp.com platform. Email Joel Gaff at joel@enduranceevolution.co with any questions or for assistance.
Drop-In: Drop in registrations will be offered starting in November. Just like the full season registration, drop-in registrants will sign up for one of the two sessions.
Drop-ins are available on a first come, first served basis for $10/session online (see "Drop-In Registration" link above).
This is a great opportunity for people to keep up the swim fitness over the winter with a fun group of people. There will be the infamous 126 50's that we'll be swimming in January. There may be opportunities for a swim meet.
