The Sea Isle City Beach Patrol invites the public to participate in their 2023 One-Mile Ocean Swim at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 22.
The traditional starting line for this box swim competition is at the water’s edge at approximately 61st Street, where participants will enter the ocean and swim north to the finish line on the 44th Street Beach.
If extreme currents run north to south on race day, the starting line will be moved to the 27th Street beach so participants can swim with the current.
This is a rain or shine event, however, an electrical storm or dangerous surf conditions will necessitate postponing the start until later in the day (conditions permitting).
Individuals, groups and members of swim clubs and other organizations are invited to participate.
An awards ceremony will be held at noon on race day at Beach Patrol Headquarters, 44th Street and the Promenade.
Awards will be given to the top male and female swimmers in the following age groups: 14 and under, 15-18, 19-25, 26-35, 36-45, 46-55, 56-65, and 66 and over.
Also, first and second place team plaques and individual medals will be awarded to each scoring member of a team. Team affiliation can be any of the following: swim club, beach patrol or high school.
