WELCOME TO RTC'S OPEN WATER SWIM REGISTRATION

Open water swims are hosted seasonally on Mondays and Wednesdays, weather and river permitting, at Robious Landing. Registration is open until 3pm the day of the swim.

** Please select the final COMPLETE REGISTRATION to submit your registration and receive a confirmation email. We need to have an accurate head count for our water safety crew. Similarly, if you are unable to attend after registering, we ask that you cancel your registration before 3pm by asking for a refund.

1. Please arrive by 5:45 to hear the safety briefing, sign in, and get yourself ready to go. All swimmers take off at 6:05 pm from the dock. Late arrivals may swim at their own risk without signing in.

2. Swim buoys and bright swim caps are required. We have a limited number of swim buoys and caps available to borrow if necessary. No Buoy = No Swim! Other items to bring are a towel, goggles, sandals, bathing suit and sometimes a wetsuit.

3. New open water swimmers may request a swim angel. The swim angel will swim with you and keep an eye on you. See role description for more information.

4. After swimming, please SIGN OUT. The Swim Lead will call the emergency contact if the swimmer does not sign out.

5. Please consider giving back to our program by volunteering at least monthly either by signing up to kayak, SUP, or as a swim angel! We also have a volunteer reward program called RTC TRISTARS. Read more about it here: RTC TRISTARS.

6. All swimmers and volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. We allow non-members to swim with us twice before membership becomes required. You don't have to be a member to volunteer for water support, but membership is encouraged! If you have not signed up online you are required to sign a waiver on paper at the river.

7. All participants are encouraged to sign up for Rained Out text notifications here https://www.rainedout.net/team_page.php?a=7a1a66c9d13367fce645 .
