Open Water Swimming

2020 Summer Pool Vs Cool Swim Challenge

We’ve got an exciting new event coming up! Sponsored by our own Salt Lake Masters  

This summer, all USMS swimmers are impacted by COVID-19. Most competitions have been cancelled or postponed. Even swim practices have been impacted by social distancing requirements. The 2020 Summer Pool Versus Cool Swim Challenge event challenges swimmers to find new ways to swim. It’s the first event where pool swimmers and open water (cool) swimmers are able to compete head to head.  It’s also the first virtual competitive event where participants use swim trackers to record their practice distances and their timed swims for 500m, 1500m and 5000m in pool or open water venues. The swims are automatically uploaded into Swim.com where they are tabulated in real time against other swimmers’ efforts by gender and age group.
