Open Water

An alternative to the pool, open water swimming provides a unique competitive experience for all those involved. After returning to competition in 2019, LIAC athletes have steadily climbed the ladder both at the LSC and National levels. With an increased presence every year, 2024 is shaping up to be the biggest turnout at the national level LIAC has ever had! 

Whether it is at the beginner or national level we encourage all those who have an interest in the sport to get involved! Last year LIAC was proud to bring over 50 athletes to the Open Water Zone meet from beginner to national level athletes. Anyone with questions should email Coach Mike at [email protected].
