How USA Swimming Is Changing The Edu-tainment Game

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – After a successful debut last year, SwimJitsureturns in 2016 with an expanded national tour to challenge kids across the country to conquer the mash-up of in-water obstacle course and swimming skills. SwimJitsu will begin its tour in April and continue into the fall.

 SwimJitsu participants, also known as “swimjas,” aim to complete entertaining obstacles such as balancing across beams, swimming through trenches and cannonballing off the top of Mt. Swimja. Once participants conquer the course and the three sacred traits of speed, agility and wisdom, they can claim the title of Grand Master Swimja. SwimJitsu is fun for participants of all ages and skill, even those just beginning their swimming journey.

 Watch SwimJitsu in action.

 SwimJitsu will visit these locations and will look to add more throughout 2016:

“We’re taking SwimJitsu to the next level with the addition of SwimJitsu Lite. We can now reach areas that may not have had the chance last year to experience the fun of SwimJitsu and see what the sport of swimming offers,” said USA Swimming Marketing Director Jim Fox.

“Continuing to keep the ‘edu-tainment’ factor we’re looking forward to introducing more ‘swimjas’ to the fun environment of swimming in 2016.”
