2023 Swim for the Potomac
An open water festival for all ages and all abilities! 2 days, featuring long-course tri distances and more.
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.
Registration Swim Distances: Saturday 9/23 – 500/1000/1500 meter Splash – 10K meters
Sunday 9/24 2.5K meters – 5K meters – 1.2 or 2.4 miles
