About
Dive into the thrill of the Iconic Open Water Swim in the stunning La Jolla, California! Every year since 1916, swimmers have been taking the plunge on the first Sunday after Labor Day. Whether you're a budding Garibaldi Grommet tearing through the 250 Meter race, ready to conquer the 1 Mile Sea Lions challenge, pushing the limits in the 3 Mile Leopard Sharks competition, or daring to tackle the 4 Mile Whole Enchilada—there's a wave for everyone!
Each brave competitor walks away with more than just bragging rights; you'll snag an exclusive event t-shirt and a shiny finisher's medal to flaunt. Plus, for those who are all about the glory, Age Group Medals are up for grabs based on U.S. Masters Swimming age brackets—kids compete with their own age, ensuring a fair splash for all. So, are you ready to make waves?
