Indoor Open Water Swim Clinic
Are you registered for IRONMAN 70.3 Boise or any other triathlon but new to swimming or open water? Have you hesitated to join a triathlon because of concerns about open water? Maybe you feel at ease in the pool but are uncertain about the differences with open water swimming.
If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, this clinic is for YOU!
Since the local open water is still too chilly for practice, why not replicate the experience indoors with expert guidance from a top coach? That's precisely what we’re offering in April and May, right before the open water season begins.
