Swim for the Potomac is an all ages oriented event dedicated to bringing awareness to Washington DC's grandest natural resource, the Potomac River. Not only is the river home to a growing number of swimming paddling and rowing competitions, recreation, tourism, but it also supplies the drinking water to most of the metropolitan area. It ultimately lies with each of us to protect the health of the river.

Location: North Cove/Commercial Pier at National Harbor, MD 20745

All ages are welcome.

All entries include a WaveOne Swimming Membership for race days. No accommodations will be made for late arrivals or entries. Late registrants (within 7 days of the race date) may not receive t-shirts due to the limited quantity. T-shirts will be distributed on a first come basis.
