The Splash and Dash is regularly held every third Tuesday of each month to benefit the large number of open water swimmers and triathletes in the Austin, Texas area.
Olympic gold medalist Brendan Hansen, a new and enthusiastic member of the Austin T3 Club, says about his wetsuit attire and the sport of triathlon, “The blueseventy wetsuit is a significant difference in this 63°F (17.2°C) water. It feels really comfortable. You float pretty good in these things and it is fun. This suit is a amazing. Triathlon is a whole different animal. Check it out.”
