ATAC - Amsterdam Triathlon And Cycling

Time for open water at Nieuwe Meer!

We’ll meet at the AmsterDeck Nieuwe Meer at 09:00 for getting into our wetsuits, quick warmup, and go swimming at 9:15.

Sessions are for those who can swim at least 250m freestyle without stopping and are comfortable with swimming in a lake.
You can do as much or as little as you're comfortable with but make sure to always swim with at least one buddy.

*IMPORTANT* you should be (somewhat) comfortable swimming in open water and be careful not to bite off more than you can chew!

*You are doing this by your own risk*

Requirements:

*Safety buoy* It is mandatory that you bring your own safety buoy. This way we can not only store our valuables but also be more visible in the water.
No buoy = No swimming with the group.

*Wetsuits* are highly recommended, not only because of water temperature but also to train swimming in one.

*Coloured swim cap* it adds visibility for the others.

*Safety*:
We recommend to swim in pairs when possible. We try to take all safety precautions possible but you are swimming as an individual and at your own risk when you come to these events.
