Organiser's Description
The Sunshine Open Water Swim Series is back with two stunning dates:
March 7, 2026 - Pass-a-Grill Beach
May 16, 2026 - Indian Rocks Beach
We're growing thoughtfully! To celebrate every swimmer, we're adding a 10K challenge for the ultra-distance seekers ( 2 5 k loops)
Our staged start ensures a perfect day for all:
10K -> 5K -> 1.2 Mile -> 1/2 Mile
I love creating these small, meaningful events where we push limits and share the open water spirit together. To keep that special atmosphere, participation will be capped at 150-200 swimmers.
Your support means the world. Interested in sponsoring this passion project? I'd love to chat! DM me or email me at owsleo11@gmail.com.
Thank you for being part of the journey. Let's make 2026 unforgettable!
