What we’re about
I started this group to provide an opportunity for open water enthusiasts to connect and enjoy our beautiful waterways together! open water swimming can be intimidating if you've never done it before. This group is friendly for beginners.
We meet at 8 am Saturday mornings at the North end of the Redondo boardwalk in Des Moines for a short swim. Cold water plungers, triathletes, wild swimmers, and all others who want to give it a try are welcome. We swim down the length of the boardwalk, staying close to the beach.
There are no lifeguards for this event. A brightly colored swim cap and swim buoy is recommended.
