SWIM LONG BEACH
Swim Long Beach is a buoy-a-thon where JGs will be given exactly one hour to swim as many buoys as they can. The goal is to swim the same distance as the perimeter of Long Beach! That's 82 miles! Not only is it a physically challenging event, but it is also an easy way for JGs to contribute to the overall well being of the program itself.
2025 date TBA
Details
Each session will have 2 heats. Heat schedules will be posted during the summer.
C groups are in the bay at Leeway. A and B groups are on the oceanfront!
