This esteemed event, recognized as one of America's Top 100 Open Water Swims, invites participants to conquer either a 2.4-mile or a 6-mile course through the scenic Wando River and Charleston Harbor. Swimmers will relish a unique journey along the Mount Pleasant shoreline, gliding under the iconic Ravenel Bridge and past the historic USS Yorktown Aircraft Carrier before reaching the floating dock finish line at the Charleston Harbor Marina. Both distances benefit from a slight outgoing tide, offering a helpful push to all competitors.

Typical race day conditions in June see air temperatures around 85°F highs and 75°F lows, with a pleasant water temperature usually between 72-78°F.
