| Experience Requirement: | Safety concerns require us to ensure that every participant in a NYC Swim swim event has adequate swim experience; thus we have set certain qualifying standards for participation in each of our events. Your registration for a NYC Swim swim is not complete until the NYC Swim receives acceptable evidence of your qualifying swim. The experience requirement for participating in the Park to Park Swim is as follows:
The completion of any
NYC Swim open water swim, Aquathlon or open water swim
clinic within the past three years (2005 - 2007)
----OR---
Any DOCUMENTED timed open water swim
race of 3/4 Mile or more within the past three years (2005 - 2007)
----OR---
Any DOCUMENTED Sprint Triathlon with a
timed Open Water Swim within the past three years (2005 - 2007)
----OR---
Pool Certification in a manner consistent with the sample template, which can be accessed on your user profile swimmer page, documenting the completion of a continuous 1 mile pool swim in 45 minutes or better. Swim must take place in a traditional swimming pool; "Endless Pool" swims are not acceptable for qualification purposes.
Your pool swim must take place no earlier than March 1st of the current year, and all pool certifications and qualifying swim information must be received by NYC Swim at least 14 days prior to the date of the race. |
