WaterStrong
WaterStrong is a workout club for all ages, practicing in pool and open water settings year round. Membership is fluid and open, often overlapping with other area clubs in the region.
Practice Information
Pool practices intend to follow the USMS triathlon workouts provided for that week. Open water practices always use the buddy system, a high visibility swim buoy, and responsible swim protocols. Open water practice locations include Broughton Beach (Columbia River), Sellwood Riverfront Park (Willamette River), and Hagg Lake (Washington County). We are in the open water 12 months of the year, usually in skins (no wetsuits).
