Course Description: We have the warmest climate in the entire USA ! Everything happens at the Resort with expected temperatures of 80°. Swim in Moolvayla Lake, ride next to the Colorado River both in California and Arizona and run on the campus of Blue Water. You are never more than a stones throw away from the water. Location: Parker, Arizona is on the banks of the beautiful Colorado River separating Arizona and California. For more details, check the map below. Check out BlueWater Resort & Casino!
THE SWIM: This is the very
best part. Lake Moovalya is formed by the Headgate Dam blocking the Colorado
River (see center picture below). The cleanest water in the Southwest. We start North and swim with the very
slight current. What a blast! Fast times. Water temp for 2006 was 75° and 2007 was 74°.
Wetsuits are OK.
