Break a Wave Open Water Swim

Break a Wave offers swimmers an up-north open water swim adventure in the Old Mission Harbor of East Grand Traverse Bay. The event site is located approximately 20 miles north of Traverse City, Michigan on the Old Mission Peninsula. Participants choose their swim distance of a 1-mile or 2-mile out-and-back course (and for youth 9-12 years old a .5-mile out-and-back course), with all distances starting and finishing at Haserot Beach. Swimmers will follow the shoreline north to the half way point of their race distance and then head back to shore.
