swim, Swim, SWIM

​WHEN: March 1st - 31st

WHO: Current RTA Club members

WHERE: Strava Group Challenge

WHY: We all need a kick in the pants to swim more :)


​
The purpose of this challenge is to create extra motivation to encourage additional time in the pool for the month of March. We can all use a little extra swim training.

Think of it as a focused training block to help promote and super charge your swim.

...Complete list of rules on Team App



*SWIM Test:

Don’t be scared. This is what will measure your improvement. The only way you fail this, is by not doing it. 

Do this at the start of the month and at the very end of the month. BEST EFFORT from start to finish. No sandbagging the test in the beginning. HONER SYSTEM. 

➡️Test: 500 yards, non stop. Record your total time for the 500. 

… We suggest a short warm up prior to going 500 yards at your best effort. This will count toward your total distance for this challenge. 

*Doing the swim test for this challenge is NOT required but highly encouraged. 

Weekly Updates:

Our weeks run from Monday - Sunday.
​Screen shots are taken on Sunday evening.
