At least six Stand Up Paddleboarders will be there to escort the swimmers along the route. Swimmers are encouraged to wear brightly colored swim caps to increase visibility in the water. Some swim caps will be available at the event. Please see the route maps for the swim start and finish. Awards will be presented at the swim finish at Pebble Beach Park at approximately 10am.
Swim Fins are Not Allowed!
Wetsuits are available for rent for $25 at North by Northwest surf shop. Click the link HERE for more information about renting a wetsuit.
