Will Waltrip

Will Waltrip fell into the sport of triathlon via family just before summer of 2015. At that time, without an athletic background, Will was introduced to Craig Lewin who taught him swim technique fundamentals and how to navigate swimming in the open water. Working through Endurance Swimming’s program, Will subsequently completed a sprint, Olympic and two 70.3 races before the end of that summer. Since then, Will has placed in various age group and overall podiums at local triathlons, and regularly competes in open water swimming events around New England. Will is a USA Swimming  Coach and is a nationally ranked triathlete. You will often find him training on the roads, trails, and in the open waters across the North Shore as he focuses on competing in middle distance triathlons.
