Join us for a Tuesday evening supported open water swim! We're in the water from 6pm-7:30pm.&#x20;

First timers are always welcome and will be given an in depth safety briefing before hand. Please feel free to introduce yourself to our coach if you are joining us for the first time! 

Personal safety buoys are required, and we have some on site to borrow or to purchase.&#x20;

We are currently swimming off of the end of the Berkeley Marina (next to the old HS Lordships restaurant)  due to a dock closure. To find us, get directions to 199 Seawall Drive.  Head all the way down University until it dead-ends into Seawall Drive, then take a left and head all the way down until you reach a closed gate. Park as close as you can then walk past the gate towards the old restaurant and you should find us! 

Allowed event types:
