Open Water Series Race #6

French Creek Racing hosts the culminating event in a series of open water swimming competitions. Participation in the entire series is mandatory for those aiming for series points and awards. Taking place in Norristown, PA, swimmers start from a launch point downstream of the 422 bridge. Following safety standards, water temperatures below 78°F allow for wetsuits. The race's logistics involve pre-registration and in-person sign-up, with wave starts at intervals. Essential supplies such as caps are provided, while swimmers complete the courses through a guided setup. No refunds, but funds can transfer to other events. Volunteers, including lifeguards and kayakers, are crucial to the event's success.
