OPEN WATER SWIMS
April 6th – September 28th

We would love for you to join us for some training out at the Hwy 12 Boat Ramp, Beaver Lake, 6PM EVERY Wednesday beginning April 6th!
SWIM OZ is powered by The Joys Of Swimming!

Bonnie will be leading these swims. She is a Level II Masters Coach with USMS, Top Ten National times in 5 events, and a 5 event Arkansas State Masters Record Swimmer.

You will receive video analysis to be emailed or texted, and coaching during the swim. We swim in a cove in a triangle shaped course that is approximately 800 – 1,000 yards. Some will do 1 lap or 2 laps, and some more in the hour we swim. There are 7 foot sighting buoys placed at the turns of the course. We also have boats on the water during your swim to keep everyone safe. If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering to kayak or assist with checkin, here is the link.

All swimmers need to be a USMS registered swimmer. This is for safety reasons and to allow us to have additional support for guides and insurance. You must complete this google form in order to swim with us. SWIM OZ: Open Water Swim Google Form
ALL speeds and distances are welcome! Here are your options for our swims:
Per visit: $10
Per month: $35
Per season: $150 – you will be given a free microfiber towel

Venmo

There are additional benefits of having a SWIM OZ membership that you will very quickly discover. We have many local and national partners with discounts! Please join the “SWIM OZ” team when you register with USMS.

We do require all swimmers to swim with a swim buoy. We do have some available for sale onsite at the lake for $35.
