Check out what swimmers told us in previous years!

⭐️What a wonderful day in every way. The event was so well organized and memorable—it just gets better and better every year. Congratulations and many thanks to you and all the organizers and volunteers from me and I am sure I can speak for all other swimmers/participants. I managed to raise $725 from my sponsors!

⭐️LOVED the frequency of the boats & signage along the route. Also, the volunteers in sailboats, kayaks and SUPs were all so helpful and encouraging!

⭐️This is an amazingly well organized event, in fact the best I have ever attended. Well done to all the volunteers and organizers to make the entire occasion one to remember and to look forward to!

⭐️Such a great event! I had heard the great reviews but wow! So amazing. It was my first and I was nervous so took advantage of the swim Angel program! I’m so happy with how the day went and will be back again next year! Thanks so much to all the amazing organizers and volunteers!
