Our new goal is to leverage the popularity of Legends in the sport of swimming to get everyone in the water by competing in our “Race The Legends” events!
Race The Legends events allow swimmers a chance to race against some of the greatest swimmers of past and present. Creating a unique environment and experience not seen anywhere else. One you don’t want to miss!
The Global Swim Series started as an idea put together by a few local race directors in Ontario, Canada. That we could create something bigger than just our own local race. We wanted a way to connect swimmers from other races and give them a fun way to compete against one another.
The Global Swim Series had its inaugural season known as the Canadian Open Water Swim Series and had 12 races spread across Canada from Halifax to Vancouver. The first season had over 2,000 participants with a breadth of experience from former Olympians, nationally ranked club swimmers, NCAA and USport athletes, marathon swimmers, and Ironman triathletes. But welcomed plenty of participants without any auspicious credentials and encouraged those new to the sport of Open Water Swimming to join the fun.
Our unique balance of competition and participation encouraged all those enthusiastic about the sport to come out and get into the competition.
