There is a race for every open water swimmer ranging from 1 to 11 miles. We'll kick off the season in Sarasota alongside USA Swimming Open Water Nationals where you'll have a chance to swim a 1 mile (April 4) or 5K (April 5) and cheer on Olympians and National Team members at the same venue. Next will be the Cable Open Water Nationals in Charlottesville, VA on May 31. We'll finish up in Portland, OR on July 13 for the Ultramarathon-Distance Open Water Nationals.
