WHAT TO EXPECT
Whether you are just taking a leisurely swim with flippers for accomplishment (Assisted Category) or trying to set a record time (Competitive), this is your chance to help us promote swimming in St. Kitts! The race will start at Whitehouse Bay and finish at Shipwreck Beach Bar on South Friar's Bay. It is slightly shorter than the Cross Channel Swim (1.9 miles) and more relaxing in flat water. If you are thinking about doing the Channel Swim, this is your chance to gauge yourself. The course will follow the coastline and a good portion of it is quite shallow. 

This year, in addition to the usual entries, we anticipate a number of regional Special Olympics teams doing the swim as a relay. We are pleased to have invited them to partner in this swim.
