Event Update For 2025
The Cape May Beach Patrol Lifeguard Association is excited to bring back the fastest 2.4 mile open water race out there. We are looking forward to a great race with fast and, most importantly, safe swims. We loved getting feed back and are looking forward to some improvements in the race this year. Watch out for announcements through email and on our Facebook page to stay up to speed including giveaways, a store to buy some unique swag and photos from last years race!
In the event of dangerous conditions, the race directors reserve the right to change the course so that swimmer safety can be maintained. This includes, but is not limited to, extreme surf conditions, heavy fog and wind. When possible, race directors will communicate these changes in advance. In situations like fog, the race may be delayed as long as possible in hopes of fog burning off. Course changes will be discussed and communicated on the day of the race.
Description
Poverty To Cove 2.4 Mile Swim
The fastest point-to-point 2.4 mile swim on the east coast. This has always been a 'rite of passage' for local swimmers "in the know," and now we've made it official!

Join us in Victorian Cape May for an instant classic!
