The public is invited to participate in the Sea Isle City Beach Patrol’s one-mile ocean swim on Saturday, July 20, at 11 a.m.
The starting line will be at the water’s edge on the 61st Street beach. Swimmers will head north to the finish line on the 44th Street beach.
If extreme currents run north-south on race day, the starting line will be switched to 27th Street in an effort to allow participants to swim with the current.
Mail-in registration is not available for the swim. Online pre-registration ($30 per swimmer) closes on July 18 at 11 p.m.
Race day registration ($40 per swimmer) is available on July 20 between 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
Online team pre-registration ($32 per swimmer) closes on July 18 at 11 p.m. Race day team registration ($42 per swimmer) is available on July 20 between 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
This is a rain-or-shine event. However, an electrical storm or dangerous surf conditions will require resetting the start time until later in the day. If conditions do not improve, the swim will be canceled. Weather cancellations will be announced on the home page of the beach patrol’s website.
