Hello South-Central Zone Swimmers!
We wanted to let you know of an AMAZING Open Water Swim opportunity in Bentonville, Arkansas, The OZ Mile Swim Festival. Here is a note from Bonnie Adams, Race Director and this year’s PanAM Head Coach for USMS…
The OZ Mile Swim is for ALL swimmers! Elite, experienced, novice, beginner - ALL! We have an ELITE wave, a YOUTH wave, an AGE GROUP wave, a PARA wave, and the OZ wave (wetsuits or safety buoys or even fins). Swimmers will have the option to complete 1 wave or multiple waves (based on qualifications).
This event will be a FESTIVAL ATMOSPHERE unlike any other Open Water Race in the region - maybe the USA! There is something for everyone!
We have added a Charity Swim, Presented by Highlands Oncology Group, the HOG Swim for Saturday morning! We are raising funds for 3 charities: Swim Across America, Rampy MS Research Foundation, and The Joys Of Swimming. You can pick one, two, or all three as they are ALL amazing organizations! You can swim (not race) 1, 2, 3, or 4 miles, you can even participate in a relay style to get your multiple miles in. There is a discount provided at checkout when you register for both the Saturday and Sunday events.
We will kick off race weekend on Friday afternoon, September 27th with a Race Expo at Red Barn in Bentonville. A meet and greet with all our swimmers, and elites. As well as local and national vendors. The Expo is free to attend, with adult beverages provided by Pabst Blue Ribbon.
This swim is set in the heart of the Ozarks, which offer fun adventures for the entire family! The festival like atmosphere is spectacular! Make sure to register for the HOG Charity Swim on Saturday to stretch out from your travels so you are ready to go for race day on Sunday. We will have awards for the top 3 finishes in age groups for male and female, and Youth Team and Adult Masters Team awards.
There is a price increase on September 15th. Don’t delay, register TODAY!
We can't wait to see you there!
Warm regards,
Bonnie Adams
