Swimming Clinics:

There will be four on-course swim clinics held at SMCC. Open water swim expert, Doug Welling from Maine Running Academy & the Sustainable Athlete, will discuss water safety, navigation and provide important swimming tips before sending waves of women into the water for a swim around the course. Trainers, the race director, and volunteers will be available following the swim to answer any questions and concerns. These clinics are offered to provide women with the chance to experience an ocean swim with a group, as it will be in the race. This is a good opportunity to practice with your wetsuit and get comfortable with the cool water temperature. We will have “SWIM ANGELS” available for those who need them. Our swimming clinics are presented by sheJAMS and The Sustainable Athlete.
