Learn: More Fun
March 5, 2010
Name-dropping. Bland finger food. Talking about the weather. Social gatherings can be such a yawner.
US Open Water Swimming Association
USOWSA promotes and celebrates open water swimming. Be it for competition, training, or recreation, or in conjunction with triathlons and other athletic enterprises, we join together to swim the world's natural bodies of water. As swimmers and multi-sport athletes, we set the standards and provide the necessary support to make open water swimming not just a safe and enduring sport, but a healthy and rewarding lifestyle.
