USMS Open Water Clinic

The Noblesville Adult Swim Team and Forest Park Aquatic Center will host a USMS Open Water Swimming Clinic to be held in conjunction with the 2012 USMS 5K Open Water Nationals in Noblesville, IN. The clinic is open to beginners as well as experienced open water swimmers and is designed to develop skills and knowledge specific to racing in open water from sprint triathlons to channel swims.

Proceeds from the clinic will go to the Friends of Central Pool, Inc., an Indiana Non-Profit 501 (c)(3) corporation which operates the Forest Park Aquatic Center.

Mallory Mead, a coach and open water specialist for Southern California Aquatics (SCAQ) will be joined by a league of local and experienced open water swimmers and coaches to deliver this engaging open water-specific curriculum.

The clinic will be delivered in two sessions with lunch provided.

Session Two: Open Water - South Harbor Clubhouse Beach: 12:00-2:00
The second session in Morse Reservoir will teach open water techniques, research, and recommendations appropriate for

The cost to attend the clinic is $65 and includes lunch and a commemorative t-shirt.
