In this issue we are focusing on swimming careers and a range of shorter distance goals within swimming. So how does this link with swimming in the pool? Most events this summer will be host a specific distance in open water, either through a triathlon, or a single open water swim. Some sprint triathlons still use an indoor pool or outdoor lido for their swim section, with a distance goal of around the 400m mark. Many single open water events will offer a series of shorter distance swims ranging from 250m – 1k through a series of loops or a long section.
