The iconic swim section in the Meuse River follows a unique course that poses a number of challenges, even for strong swimmers. The swim training provides a valuable opportunity to be well prepared and mentally strong for the opening section of the race.
During the allotted time of the swim training, the race section of the river will be sectioned off from public use to allow XTERRA athletes to pre-swim the course. The rescue team will also be onsite to ensure the safety of all athletes.
