2024 TrainForTRI Endurance Swim Challenge
Welcome to TrainForTRI's 2024 Endurance Swim challenge. You can register as an individual participant or pull a few swim buddies together as a team. You'll have all year to achieve your endurance goal, so pick the distance that will push your limits and keep you accountable for the year ;) TrainForTRI will help you along the way with swim indoor and outdoor programs and workouts.
Results will be manually entered and tracked online. To record distances; you simply select your name from a drop down list and enter your distance in meters. EASY!! Individual and Team progress will increase with each entry. This will be an honour system. No pulling your hair out and uploading your Garmin or Strava results.
