We're back on for 2024! We'll host the Jordan Lake Open Water Challenge on Sunday, May 19 and the Triangle Open Water Championship on Saturday, October 05, both at Vista Point.

You can sign up directly for each swim by following these links (will be active in late December 2023):
Sunday, May 19 - Jordan Lake Open Water Challenge
Saturday, October 05 - Series Championship aka The Hurricane Swim

Each event also offers a short swim that is roughly 1 kilometer.

The series kicked off in 2009 with three 1-mile swims. In 2010 we added a 4th race day in July with both a 1-mile and 2-mile option, and 2012 saw 5 events. In 2013 we returned to 3 swims. We're currently holding spring and fall events. You can receive timely updates about the series through our Facebook fan page.

Why open water?

We are big fans of open water racing and training, and while North Carolina has plenty of triathlons, we don't have a lot of organized open water races. We're happy to help change that.

Please click on the event links to the left for more information about and to sign up for each event.
