We’ve made a change since Friday morning folks, we’re canceling our Sunday morning pool swim and focusing on all swimmers going to Lake Lure for an open water practice swim.
Safety is paramount and we want to have all eyes on the group if possible, and this change helps us do that.
Please meet just before 8 AM at the parking lot at the ABC store south of the Lake Lure Beach seen here. If you can carpool even better. If that fills up, you can park on the street and walk over it’s only 100 yards from the beach. Please park legally wherever you park!
If you have someone that would like to paddleboard with you, please bring them and their paddleboard. We will likely have one or two extra paddle boards, and PFD’s.
Please bring a bright colored swim cap and a colorful safety swim buoy if you have it.
We will have a sign in and a sign out that’s equally important, with an emergency contact number that you provide us. We will also buddy swim, asking that you stay with your partner the entire time for safety accountability.
Mid to low 70s water temperature, wet suits are your choice. Great opportunity to see what temperature works for you and what your comfort range is.
Also, definitely bring plenty of liquid for yourself to stay hydrated or re-hydrate. There is no guarantee of a bathroom facility available at that spot, so plan accordingly prior to arrival🤪
