You can’t beat that!!!
The first race in the Canadian Open Water Series (COWSS.ca) will be the “EPIC SWIM” in Halifax, Nova Scotia on June 28!!!… and the second one will be a little closer to us in Caledon on Sunday July 6th.… check it out below!
As a way to kick the series off and get everyone into it we decided to have the first race at just $20.00 for the July 6th event (which includes the post-swim-BBQ)!
Former Olympic Coach Barrie Shepley and his C3 team in Caledon will be hosting two events. The Series Kick Off Event will be Sunday July 6th and the Series Ending event Sat Sept 20th. Barrie and his team have a retired sand quarry in Caledon with permanent swim buoys every 100m around their 1km safe, warm, clean quarry and only 20min north of the 401 (up Hwy 410 in Caledon) its a great way to get started for a summer of fun OPEN WATER SWIMMING.
Check it out below and register too!!!
