We will swim July 17, 18 & 19 2024.  Swimmers must arrive by July 16 and can depart July 20

$500 per swimmer.  Transportation, lodging, and meals are not included.  Most of the swimmers, including myself, will stay at the Concordia Eco Resort (www.concordia.com).  You can stay anywhere you like but be aware that we will be operating out of Concordia. Concordia has an open-air bar/restaurant, and the cabins have rudimentary kitchens. You will need to either rent a vehicle on St. Thomas and take the car barge to and from St. John, or rent a vehicle on St. John and take the passenger ferry.

     We will offer two open water swims a day of about a mile each.  To participate, you need to have some experience in open water and be capable of swimming a mile or two at a reasonable pace.  To the extent possible, we will swim in ability groups.  Each group will be accompanied by a paddleboard, and each swimmer will pull a personal tow buoy.   For those not capable of the open water swims, open water swimming instruction will be provided at the pool and in shallow water near Salt Pond beach.
