Corporate Athletes are inviting friends and swimmers out there to train-swim together, especially those who are attempting the 6.8km International Kapas-Marang Swimathon coming 18 April 2010. There are no charges/fees for this POS as this is a just get-together training sessions. Therefore, you must be fully responsible of your own safety and aware of the risk, hazard and danger that this sport poses. Corporate Athletes is not liable for any untoward incident or loss.

Note : To those who wish to run first, there’s a Bukit Jalil Park nearby, offering approximately 4km of trail per loop.

My dear friend Kash is also planning for a Group Openwater Swim at Port Dickson a week after POS4. The details are as follows:

Date: 7 March 2010
Location : PD beach (hotel to confirm)
Time : 8.00am (weather permitting)
Skills : Able to swim long distance, at least OD in triathlon
Distance : 2KM (1km out and back – TBC)
There might be a kayak/jet ski accompanying the swimmers but every swimmer is to look out for each other’s safety, but foremost his/her own. Safety is paramount. Kash will update if there are any changes in details.
 
If you are interested to join the POS, do e-mail us your details to trainer@corporateathletes.com.my or call me at 012-200-2239.
See you guys at the pool.
