Roughly 50 swimmers took part in a sunrise swim hosted by WaveOne Open Water on August 7, 2022. The swim practices are held twice a week during the spring and summer off National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Md. The practices allow swimmers a chance to become more comfortable in open water settings and practice their technique. (Photo by Caroline Grass)
