There’s something different about open water.
No lane lines.
No walls to push off.
Just you, the water, and the rhythm of your stroke.

The Iowa Championship Open Water Swim Series gives athletes the chance to race on the same open water courses used by many of Iowa’s premier triathlons. Whether you’re preparing for triathlon season or simply want to challenge yourself in open water, this series is built for growth, confidence, and performance. It features 11 races across Iowa and Nebraska.

Safe. Welcoming. Well-run.

Race Omaha is proud to be part of the Iowa Championship Swim Series, bringing the same high standards we’re known for: organized events, athlete-first planning, and a community feel that keeps people coming back.
