1 mile

This is a one mile out and back that will start just south of the Ditto Landing Marina at 1000 Hobbs Island Rd SE. Swimmers will enter the water via ramps on the shoreline.

Because the first half mile is against the river current, this swim will take longer than a typical one mile swim in the pool.
Open to ages 13 - 99.
