Swim Open to 10-15 qualified swimmers and relays. All swimmers must be supported by crew, power boat (supplied), kayak/paddleboard (supplied if requested) and official observer (supplied). Estimated cost is $1,700-$1,900. River tour, dinner, swag, hotel discounts and more will be included. Information will be firmed up as permits are secured.

Our objective is to provide every swimmer a safe opportunity to complete the entire swim. Unless constrained by safety concerns and/or permits, we will swim rain or shine, day and night. Potomac tides switch approximately every six hours, and with variable winds, that generate currents that assist and hinder your progress. Prepare yourself and your crew for difficult conditions, and immeasurable fun!
