Odyssey Staff Swims in Kona at the Site of the IRONMAN World Championships

Odyssey Open Water Swimming Founder Warren Wallace in Kona, Hawaii

Athletes and Odyssey staff members Warren Wallace and Megan Tobin were in Kona, Hawaii to tackle the IRONMAN World Championship swim course. Both Warren and Megan chose to swim the challenging 2.4-mile course, which is known for being difficult even for experienced swimmers.

The water was clear, beautiful, and full of colorful fish and turtles according to Warren, who walked around the beach in his Odyssey baseball cap. While swimming in the open water takes courage in the winter, in Kona, the water was in the upper 70s.

Triathletes from around the world come to Kona to prepare for the IRONMAN World Championship. Odyssey had a great swim and loved being able to conquer this legendary course.
