🏊‍♂️🌊 May is National Water Safety Month = Smart Racing for Triathletes

For triathletes, the swim isn’t just the first leg—it’s the one that demands the most respect. Open water can be unpredictable, so safety matters just as much as speed.

✔️ Practice in open water, not just the pool
✔️ Start strong—but not too fast
✔️ Stay aware of your surroundings (and your body!)
✔️ Swim smart, swim confident

Your friends at the Rhoades McKee Reeds Lake Triathlon are thinking of you (and race day 👀) as you train this season 💙

The best races start with a safe swim.
How are you staying water-safe this May?
