Join the Charles River Conservancy this summer for CitySplash! This year’s City Splash summer swim event will be held on the Fiedler Field of the Boston Esplanade.

Charles River Swimming Day welcomes swimmers to take a recreational dip or compete with their peers along a waterway typically reserved for kayaks and sailboats.

A daylong celebration where people can plunge into the city's biggest swimming pool - the Charles River. A group of swimmers will be able to jump in every half-hour and either splash around or swim laps.

2023 will be the Charles River Conservancy’s 7th year of urban river swims. Join us on Saturday, June 18th at the Fiedler Field dock for an afternoon of swimming, splashing, and jumping in the river!
