Swim Clinics

The CHLA Swim Clinics are designed to teach you swimming techniques and prepare you for race day. Triathlon swim coaches and lifeguards will be there to guide you and ensure your safety. The Malibu Triathlon closely monitors all weather conditions, follows local COVID-19 guidelines and reserves the right to cancel the swim clinics at any time.
