Southern California Aquatics (SCAQ), California Triathlon (Cal Tri) and XTerra Wetsuits are sponsoring early-morning ocean swims that will give you an extra jolt of energy and get your blood flowing for the day ahead. They are free and open to the public but are not intended for beginners.
The swims will take place at Santa Monica Beach at 6 a.m., Thursday mornings starting May 5. Meet at Lifeguard Tower #26, at the end of Ocean Park Blvd./ Barnard Way.
SCAQ head coach and Olympic silver medalist Clay Evans is leading the coaching effort, with support from other SCAQ and Cal Tri coaches.
