Publicity and promotion that reaches your local audience, as well as regional and a global audience.  We will share the story of your race on a variety of email and social media platforms with the Global swimming community… averaging 20,000+ views for each post on Facebook & thousands more in our email database as well as our very popular website!
  4. Global recognition in the world swimming community and instant credibility by being a member of a truly global body.  You can use our logos and association to help promote your race too!
  5. By simply sending us the results of your race(s), we’ll calculate GSS points for each swimmer in your race and enter them in our Global Ranking system.
  6. A weighting system that gives 50% of the points for participation and 50% for placing, encouraging swimmers of all levels to participate in more races and improve their Global Ranking.
  7. Help to grow the sport of open water swimming by encouraging your swimmers to enter more races, through healthy competition and a sense of community.

After the Race

A) Send us a short write up about the race.  Whatever you want the world to read about what happened at your race (we might edit it a bit if necessary)

B) Send us at least 3 pictures from the race.  A variety is always better and we’ll take more than 3.  (we might not use them all, and we reserve the right to publish all pictures and use any from your site as well).  Any social media, videos etc. is always appreciated.  Taking advantage of your post-race hype is a great way to market yourself for an even more successful race the next year!

C) Send us the results for each race/distance (info@GlobalSwimSeries.com) in excel or google sheets format (NOT pdf).  We will get these results formatted and posted to our race results page, give your swimmers their GSS points and add them to the Global Rankings!  The sooner we get the results, the sooner we can get your excited swimmers their points.
