Upcoming Events
We have got a power packed season planned for you. No matter what your swimming abilities, there's a host of events to choose from.
OCTOBER 2024
An OWS splash course for triathletes to get acquainted with the Goan seas, and get RACE READY!
As always, the Goa Open Water Swimming Club (GOWSC) will play host to its tried and tested brief 90-minute Triathlon Orientation Swims from 19 - 25 October, to help familiarise you with the sea before your event. These sessions are uniquely crafted for triathletes participating in the 70.3 Triathlon or competing in the swim-leg of the triathlon relay. Participants will swim in a safe, designated zone, assisted by experienced coaches and fully equipped lifeguards.
This 90-minute session includes open water swimming specific drills - basics of drownproofing, sighting in open water, race specific entry and exit techniques, and turn-around drills.
