About this race

Dive into 2026! New Distances, Same Intimate Spirit.
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!
