2026 Open Water Series Race #2

Date: Tuesday, June 2, 2026

Location: Norristown, PA

French Creek Racing presents the second race of our series of 6 open water swimming races throughout the summer. You MUST be registered for the FULL SERIES to be eligible for series points and awards.

Each race will be scheduled on Tuesday afternoon/evening with Thursday as a rain date. For all dates, we are offering both a 800m and 1600m series option.

Race Address: 1400 S. Trooper Rd., Norristown, PA 19403

Swimmers should be confident of their ability to swim 800/1600 meters in open water before entering. We follow USAT's guidelines for use of wetsuits. Anything below 78ºF will be wetsuit legal and above 78º will be non-wetsuit. Anyone who wishes to wear a wetsuit above 78ºF will simply compete as an unofficial racer.

Format: Swimmers will go off in small groups at specified wave start times. The first swimmers will begin at 5:00 PM. Swimmers will get to choose their heats at 30 minute intervals, including the main "party" heat at 6:30PM. 1600 meter swimmers must start no later than 6:00PM.

Registration: Pre-registration is available until 9AM on race day. Registration is also available on site for an additional $5 fee.

Refunds: No refunds will be issued. If requested at least 7 days in advance, we will be able to transfer your funds to a different training or race event.

Inclement Weather Policy: All races will be held rain or shine. Races will be postponed due to lightning or poor water quality. Rain dates are typically Thursday of the same week.

Prizes: Custom awards will be given for the top 3 in each category and age group, based on points scored in each race. Award winners must be present at the final race of the season (8/25) to claim their awards.
