For those of you who are into multisport events, I will be conducting a talk on open water swimming next week for the Meetup group Chicago Triathletes Unite!. I am an assistant organizer of this group, and the focus of the presentation will be on how to maximize your swim effectiveness in colder water conditions.
I’m planning to keep this brief but very substantive with an emphasis on the following:
– Overview of human thermoregulation
– Cold water swim gear for various temperature ranges
– Pre-swim preparation
– Cold water immersion tactics
Here are the event details:
