We are excited to announce the return of the Great Chesapeake Bay Swim for 2023!!!! You will find one site this year (www.BaySwim.com) with all of your information, and an easy new address for any questions (info@bayswim.com)
We can't wait to celebrate the 30th year of the Great Chesapeake Bay Swim non-profit, and our 30th year of giving back to the community. Over the past 30 years, we have given back over $3,000,000 to local organizations, and that's all because of YOU!!! To celebrate that accomplishment together, we are happy to announce that this year ALL swimmers will receive a medal for their accomplishment, to commemorate your role in our giving celebration!
Race Day is June 11th, 2023, with an 8am start time. Currently we are planning for the 1 mile AND the 4.4 mile swim to start at the same time (or very close to each other).
As we move forward with planning for this year, you'll notice a few changes, which we will talk about later! Medals for all, special incentives for longevity swimmers, and lots more to come!
Don't forget, our newly designed site (www.BaySwim.com) and our email of info@bayswim.com are your sources for all of your up to date information!!!
