See all- Early Morning Madison Open Water SwimMadison Park Public Swimming Beach, Seattle, WA
Join me this Thursday bright and early for some "laps" at Madison Park! For those that haven't been here before, this beach has good options for swimming alongside the shore in shallow water. While this event is non-lifeguarded and swim-at-your-own-risk, this is a good venue for those comfortable with pool swimming but just getting used to open water conditions. You should be able to swim "laps" parallel to shore where it's shallow enough to stand.
Please arrive at 6:15. I'll do a short check-in and safety briefing, toes in the water by 6:30 AM and will swim for approximately 45 minutes until 7:15am.
Location: I'll be down at the water near the center of the beach area. What3words = impact.wires.metro
Equipment and Safety:
- A brightly colored swim cap and swim buoy are required for safety/visibility.
- In order to participate in any Seattle Triathlon Group event, you must sign our electronic waiver. Waivers only need to be signed once per year or if your contact info has changed. You can login to your account at https://www.seattletri.org/dashboard to check. I will only be accepting electronic waivers - please complete the waiver ahead of time! No waiver, no swim!
- Our Open Water Swims (OWS) are non-lifeguarded, swim-at-your-own-risk events. As such, it is imperative that you be certain of your comfort level and ability to OWS. These are not designed for, nor should they be used for learning how to swim, or for inexperienced open water swimmers. An inexperienced OWS is a danger to themselves, and those around them. If you are not certain about your OWS capabilities, we suggest practicing at a lifeguarded swim beach or at an event designated for beginning open water swimming.
- There is NO guarantee of access to changing rooms/lockers, or gear watch.
- A swim buoy with a dry pouch is useful to bring your phone and keys with you on the swim. There will not be anyone watching gear you leave on the beach.
- A wet suit is highly recommended. The wet suit is especially helpful early in the season but is not necessary.
