Cleverly Designed Finish In The Open Water
Bob Wood, coach of the CAST Classic Open Water host Cour d’Alene Area Swim Team in Idaho designed a great in-the-water finish. Made from strong PVC pipe, it was low-cost and immediately and easily dissassembled for storage right after the race. USA Swimming official Ken Schuh, Chairman of the Inland Empire Swimming Open Water Committee observed, “Bob’s design is right on target and worked well. It is very stable and allows large groups of finishers.”
Looks to be right on target to us.
