2010 Open Water Season

Season ends in September

The Open Water races listed below are a part of the SPMA Ocean Series and are races sanctioned by SPMA for USMS. In order to provide USMS insurance coverage to swimmers and event hosts alike, sanctioned races are only open to swimmers registered with United States Masters Swimming. Points for these races will be kept and awards will be given to the top SPMA-registered swimmers in each age group at the end of the season. See SPMA Open Water Rules for qualifying information, http://www.spma.net/spma_ow_series_rules.php
