Open Water Programs at Walden Pond in Concord

Note: There will be no Breakwater Sports programs at Walden Pond beginning in 2009. For other programs and clinics, see Open Water Programs.

If the program is full or you are more experienced and just want a workout, I usually swim at Walden Pond at least once a week during the summer, and former students, teammates and friends are welcome to join me (just a swim, no coaching). See my Open Water Workout Schedule page.

Thoreau went to Walden Pond

"..to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life."
