Swimming

Triathlon swimming practice in Las Vegas occurs in pools throughout the community. Many train on their own at their health clubs others a part of regular coached pool sessions. Lake Mead is our lake for practicing open water swims. Check our coaching page out for details on swim coaching. Most of our coaches will work with beginning as well as seasoned athletes to teach them what they need to know to get through their initial races. For many beginners the swim can be the most unfamiliar and scariest part of the event – don’t let that stop you!!!

Do to the fact that swimming is an athletic, technical and emotional challenge for some we recommend that you work with a coach to get the basics down if you are new to the sport and that if you have any concerns about your ability when you go to the lake that you take a personal floatation device, like a lifeguards buoy, until you are sure of your abilities.

During the summer we will have several lake swims in preparation for racing; most of these will be combined with a bike and a run. These will originate at Boulder Beach in the Lake Mead National Recreational Area. Click link for lake location http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/108520
