Fun night on the river tonight with a great group of swimmers. The after party was epic. 😄 .

Yes we are still on for today’s WOW workout at Robious Landing Park. 9am. Come have some fun.

"Unfortunately, due to high water, the river will not be safe for the WOW program workout scheduled for Sunday April 21st. Since there is a swim meet scheduled at the pool we will not be able to move the workout indoors. To make up for the missed workout, we are offering a free week of drop-in practice to any Hammerhead workouts next week (Apr 22-27). You can attend as many practices that fit your schedule.

Those workouts are Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 6am as well as Monday and Wednesday evening at 6pm and Tuesday and Thursday at Noon.

Please advise the front desk that you are member of the WOW program and dropping into the re-scheduled practices.

WOW will return to the pool on Sunday April 28th at 9am and then back to the river for May 5.

We apologize for the cancellation but safety is always our top priority."

Today we want to wish a very 🥳HAPPY BIRTHDAY🥳 to Lee! A staple of the SwimRVA community, there’s never a day at SwimRVA-CSAC where you don’t see Lee gettin’ laps in! After swimming 3600 meters yesterday, Lee woke up bright and early today with 100 pushups. Lee says that “you have to have goals and push yourself,” and he makes sure to lead by example. We’re beyond grateful to have Lee in the SwimRVA family, and we hope Lee has a GREAT day!
