These events offer a welcoming environment for both beginners and experienced swimmers alike. The venue is situated on the serene shores of a clear and clean lake, providing an ideal setting for novices who can comfortably stand in much of the water while acclimatizing themselves. Safety measures are paramount at 3 Sisters Waterski; participants must adhere to specific guidelines that ensure everyone’s well-being during their swim. For those aged between 12 and 15 years old, swimming is permitted with a mandatory requirement to wear both a wetsuit and a swim float for added safety. Older swimmers, from the age of 16 onwards, are advised but not required to use a swim float if they opt to swim in a wetsuit. However, all skin-swimming participants aged 16 or above must utilize a swim float. To enhance visibility on the water, every participant is mandated to wear a brightly colored swim cap; dark caps are discouraged for safety reasons. The venue offers designated areas where swimmers can safely acclimate themselves to the cold water without wearing wetsuits if they choose to do so. 3 Sisters Waterski prides itself on fostering an inclusive atmosphere that encourages newcomers and seasoned swimmers alike to enjoy the serene beauty of open-water swimming under professional supervision.
