2023 South Central Zone Open Water Series

TAKE THE CHALLENGE!

Each stop on the Open Water Challenge will offer three different distance options for swimmers - Short, Middle and Long. Swimmers will compete for overall male and overall female in each of the three distance categories. Swimmers will be scored through 10th place and the swimmer with the highest cumulative point total in each category at the end of the challenge will win. Swimmers must participate in at least two of the stops to be eligible. Swimmers who swim at all stops will win a Full Participant Award as will.

Volunteer and Coach Educational Webinars
 Mark your calendars for the next educational webinar(s)

The goal of these calls is to provide an opportunity for volunteers and coaches to pose questions, get answers, discuss challenges, and share successes as you fulfill your roles. In turn, the LMSC Development Committee and/or the Coaches Committee can use the information shared to help build a repository of best practices for each of our coaches and volunteer positions.
