Comments: "Loved this swim! The course is beautiful, stunning scenery. Felt very safe the entire time, close to shore with coast guard observers and a thorough safety talk beforehand in addition to each swimmer having a kayaker. Easy to register and Jane the coordinator is very responsive. The awards ceremony and food and drinks at the finish were a nice touch. Super fun & highly recommend."
