Im a collegiate swimmer with lots of experience; can I have the qualifying swim requirement waived?
Due to both safety and liability reasons, we are unable to waive the qualification requirements for any prospective swimmer. Additionally, we use the swim time information to place swimmers in an appropriate starting wave. If you have completed an NYC Swim event of appropriate distance within the past three years, your participation may automatically qualify you for the race that you would like to enter. If you have non-NYC Swim open water swim experience, you can enter the information under your user profile (click on the My Events tab, page down to the Swim History (Non-NYC Swim Events) section, click on Add Non-NYC Swim Event) and it will be reviewed to ensure that it meets the standards set for the race that you would like to enter. You may also qualify for a swim by completing a monitored pool swim as detailed in the race requirements section.
