SCAQ OPEN WATER CLINIC this Saturday!

I endorse this clinic. I think it is vital if you are a triathlete or have never swam in an open water race that you take this clinic. I believe Clay Evans is conducting it and he is a guy who was once a lifeguard, has won the La Jolla Rough Water Swim and has a silver medal from the 1976 Olympics as well. Ergo, he has "skillz"

An open water clinic will take place this Saturday, 6/23 at 10am, at Venice Beach Pier. To get rate information and register for the clinic all swimmers must call the SCAQ Office at 310 390-5700.

During clinics, you will be learn methods to enter and exit the surf, learn how to read the currents, and learn how to properly sight. Swimmers interested in enrolling for a clinic must feel comfortable in the water, and be able to swim 4x100's on the 2:00. If you are unsure about your swimming ability, it is highly recommended that you enroll in a Swim 101 Clinic prior to the Ocean Clinic or come by a SCAQ workout.
