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.
For safety reasons, there are limited swimming slots and they fill up quickly. Follow us on social media or email to learn the latest event details. Registration expected to open in May.
Organizers will host both a one-mile race and a free swim near the Esplanade’s Fiedler Dock on the same day. A group of swimmers will be able to jump in every half-hour and either splash around or swim laps.
