THANK YOU SO MUCH! You were so helpful in getting my certs to the dive shop fast! I greatly appreciate it! The dive was AMAZING! I got to swim next to a leopard sharp, sting ray, lion fish, eel, snapper, oh my goodness I can't even name everything!
Thanks again,
Drowning Prevention for Water Race Events, Including Triathlons
By Tom Leaird, SEI Instructor Trainer
I served as Water Safety Chairman for over twenty years at the annual Muncie, Indiana Endurathon. In addition, I have served in a similar capacity for several other races of that type where swimming in open water precedes the bike and run portions of a triathlon. I watched from the sidelines, as the Hawaii Iron Man race began – afraid that one of those hundreds of athletes would be lost without being noticed. Throughout all those years, with thousands of athletes, we have been extremely fortunate to not lose a swimmer where I have been involved. The greatest relief at every one of those races has been the announcement: “All the bikes are out of the transition area.” Now I can relax!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new and updated website! It has been a lengthy journey to reach this goal and we are excited in how impressive the site has become. As with any new thing, there many be some quirks - if you find any, please let us know so we can address them.
