V Cars Open Water Swim Race Series 2012 - Race 1

OPEN WATER SWIM – RACE 1

We would like to say a massive well done to everyone that attended and completed Race 1 of the V Cars Open Water Swim Race Series.

The water temperature was especially cold at 10 degrees, so just getting in was a huge achievement so you should all take this into consideration when viewing these results. With these extreme water temperatures everything is affected, your breathing is shorter and shallower, your concentration, co-ordination and balance are all tested and you really do see how your body reacts to unusually cold water temperatures. The water will warm up over the coming weeks and we are happy to tell you about the other 5 races still available, you are almost guaranteed a PB!

V Cars Open Water Swim Race Series 2012 - Race 1

RG Active

The RG Active TRAINING RACES offer the competitors an opportunity to gauge fitness, practise mass swim starts, swimming with others and to add a element of competition to your training in a relaxed and inexpensive environment. The Training races will create a series made up of 6 races spread throughout the summer season (May to Sept). The races will follow the same structure with the only things outside of your control being the British weather and the other competitors racing with you. This allows you to monitor your progress over the races throughout the season over the same course and having the series will enable you to try new things and make sure that you get a great workout as well as preparing yourself for your major ‘A’ races during the summer.
