Sunset Lake Swim Clinic/Open Water Swim

DIVE INTO AN AFTERNOON OF AQUATIC FUN WITH A SWIM CLINIC AND OPEN WATER SWIM EVENT, HOSTED BY EVEN KIEL RACING. UNDER THE TUTELAGE OF JOHN DIPALO FROM NO LIMITS ENDURANCE COACHING, YOU'LL REFINE YOUR STROKES AND ELEVATE YOUR SWIMMING PROWESS. IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE TRANQUIL WATERS OF SUNSET LAKE, THE CHERISHED VENUE OF THE SUNSET LAKE TRIATHLON, KNOWN FOR ITS CRYSTAL-CLEAR SERENITY. WHETHER IT'S BEFORE OR AFTER YOU SWIM, ENJOY THE CHANCE TO JOG OR WALK ALONG THE SURROUNDING SHADED TRAILS, WITH BOTH PAVED AND UNPAVED PATHS. AND FOR THOSE FOCUSED SOLELY ON MAKING A SPLASH, THE "OPEN WATER SWIM ONLY" OPTION LETS YOU JUST SWIM, UNRESTRICTED BY THE CLINIC.
