Apply for the Swim

2024 Swim - September 23, 2024

Volunteers needed. All those interested in supporting the swim to include kayakers, observers and crew for 2024. (Note: Thank you to all our volunteers for 2023. We look forward to 2024! LET’S GO!)

Our objective is to provide every swimmer a safe opportunity to complete the entire swim. Unless constrained by safety concerns and/or permits, we will swim rain or shine, day and night. Potomac tides switch approximately every six hours, and with variable winds, that generate currents that assist and hinder your progress. Prepare yourself and your crew for difficult conditions, and immeasurable fun! We will have multiple dates, but the latest swim will be in October, so be prepared and capable of swimming in temps from low 60’s degrees. Additionally, because of shifting tides, it will be an early start. Some will finish before sunset, some won’t. Be prepared for a night swim finish.

All swimmers will be supported by crew, power boat (supplied), kayaker (supplied) and official observer (supplied).

Solo: Cost is $3850
Tandem: $2400 Each
Relay: Solo Swim $cost per relay plus add approximately $125 per person (3, 4, 5 and 6 person relays). Under 18 age relays contact us directly.

Swag, unique finisher award, hotel discounts and more will be included. Final information will be firmed up as permits are secured. Kayaks and kayaker are available for an extra fee.
