Wild Fish Swim Festival

Dive into the thrill of our annual open water swim event at the tranquil Collins Cove Beach! With water temperatures around a refreshing 66°F, choose your challenge from three distances – 1/2 Mile, 1 Mile, or the daring 2 Mile. Ensuring your safety and support, a fleet of volunteers on kayaks and paddleboards will be on the lookout as you navigate the calm waters.**
Make sure to sign up by August 1st to snag a cozy unisex t-shirt, and don’t worry about swim caps – we’ve got you covered (unless you prefer your own non-latex cap). And after pushing your limits in the water, celebrate your accomplishment with post-race refreshments and a vibrant downtown atmosphere.**
Strive for personal glory with awards across age groups, but remember, no floating aids or wet-suit double dipping! For any changes, get in touch in advance or chat with us on the day. Embrace the energy, swim with passion, and make a splash that echoes through Salem!****
