2021 Swimming Dates
All events have been sanctioned and are being planned as such below. It’s been a rather difficult year, with much hesitation with posting. All Open Water Events, I have everyone in place, ready for them to take form in one shape or another. As for the Zoefitness Triathlon Focused Swimming Groups they are all sanctioned, and right now we are going month to month at Sandia Pool from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM, with the hope that we will be able to continue to swim until UNM Pool Re-Opens for 3rd party contracts.
