With every challenge in the open water should come a support crew that includes people both on the water and onshore.
The Santa Barbara Channel Swimming Association is offering an observer training session on May 30th in Santa Barbara, California. “If you are a swimmer, observer. crew or someone interested in learning more about marathon or channel swimming, we encourage you to attend at the Cabrillo Bathhouse,” says president Scott Zornig.
