2025 Registration open for last year's participants
In 2024, we had the misfortune of having to cancel the event, with everyone on land watching and waiting. We sent out emails and let you know that you, as a 4.4 mile swimmer, would have the opportunity to bypass the lottery and pay a reduced fee for 2025. That $250 fee will go to offset the cost of the new event, and we hope that you will consider making a donation so that we can give our regular donation to our charitable partners (March of Dimes, Chesapeake Bay Trust, US Coast Guard, etc)
This year, the 4.4 mile swim will START at 1:30pm, from Sandy Point State Park. The late start is essential so that we are able to have adequate water safety coverage AND so that we take in to account the slack tide at center span, reducing the currents.
The 1 Mile Swim will start at 1030am, from the Eastern Shore. For those of you who have asked, we are working on a way for you to swim both, but those logistics keep changing.
Many have expressed their concern with a later start, and to that we can say that you should make the choice that is best for you. We are locked into that date (2nd Sunday in June) and make the swim start time based on slack tide at center span of the bridges. Over the years we have had starts in the morning, and in the afternoon. If you are not an afternoon swimmer, then perhaps 2025 isn't your year.
THIS GUARANTEED LINK, WILL NEED TO BE USED BY NOVEMBER 30TH, 2024, AT MIDNIGHT. AFTER THAT, GENERAL LOTTERY REGISTRATION OPENS. THIS LINK WILL EXPIRE WHEN THAT HAPPENS.
Unfortunately, this offer of bypassing the lottery and a reduced rate is a one-time offer, for 2025.
This link, above, is linked to the email account that you registered with and will only work with that account. Should you have a special circumstance that you would like to discuss, please reach out at info@Bayswim.com and we will be happy to help.
Thank you for everything, over the past year, and we look forward to seeing you on the beach on June 8th, 2025
