Nervous about swimming in the open water in Lake Michigan? At our open water swim clinics, participants improve their swim technique and become an effective - and comfortable - open water swimmer.

Practice will take place in shallow water and will include the following aspects of open water swimming:

*Proper swim gear and wetsuit fit
*Technique and skills for calm and rough (wavy) open water
*Bi-lateral breathing and open water sighting technique
*Practice swimming in large crowds
*Mental and emotional preparation for open water swimming and preventing panic

ADDITIONAL ADD-ON: The tour guide will walk the group to Navy Pier to eat at one of the local restaurants. Menus are pre-selected for the group and offer a variety of menu choices to accommodate most dietary requirements - menus can be customized. Each meal will include unlimited water, coffee, and soft drinks; appetizer; entree; dessert.
