Open Water Swim Practice #2

About the Event

Hello Amazing Swimmers!

I hope this message finds you brimming with excitement for our upcoming swim sessions! I’m thrilled to announce that we’ll be adding
One more buoy for those of you who want to swim a little longer. This will help ensure a safe turn around and avoid any head-on collisions remember to keep your sighting sharp! 🤞🏽

Before you head out, please take a moment to look over the updated map. And a quick reminder, skip Google Maps for the address; it might lead you to someone’s home! Just remember, we’re meeting at the beautiful beach!

Swim Dates:
- Sunday, April 12 & April 19
- Location: 1201 North Shore Dr NE
Saint Petersburg, FL 33701
United States 33701 (next to the volleyball courts)
It will be limited parking starting at 7:15 try to be there earlier than that.

Join us for a swim briefing and group picture at 7:45 AM.
Swim Starts at 8:00 AM!

To all swimmers and athletes, I’m excited to lead our practice and share some valuable tips and drills, for the 3rd year, especially for our beginners. If you’ve participated in the St. Anthony’s Triathlon before, this is a great chance to practice your swim start!

The course will feature three buoys you’ll keep on your right. After reaching the final buoy, you can either swim towards the shoreline for a sprint distance or turn around with the added buoys for a longer swim. While we can’t swim towards the pier due to boat traffic, you can complete two loops around the designated area—approximately 2,000 yards of invigorating fun!

Your safety is my top priority, so we’ll have friends on paddle boards and kayaks along with lifeguards to ensure a supportive environment. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to reach out!

I anticipate a fantastic turnout of 100 participants each Sunday, so be sure to review the map and familiarize yourself with the course. Remember, the key to a successful swim is: sight, sight, sight!

About Saint Petersburg

Learn more about the host city, Saint Petersburg.

Saint Petersburg sits at the base of the Tampa Bay peninsula in Pinellas County, Florida, and enjoys a more subdued social atmosphere than its larger cousin, Tampa. The city has tried to characterize the downtown as an arts and entertainments destination and you will find no shortage of arts and crafts stores, galleries, and museums along with cafes and boutique food shops all within a couple blocks of the Tampa Bay waterfront. With water on three sides of the city, St. Pete is a superb location for fishing, sailing, and wandering beaches.
