CIASA encourages everyone to enjoy the active and fascinating recreational sport of open water swimming. Participants range in age from under 10 to over 70. Novices will be pleased to learn that salt water is much more buoyant than fresh, so our sea swims are an easy and enjoyable way to experience Seven Mile Beach.

800m swims: Registration is on the afternoon of the race at 3:00-3:45pm. The race starts at 4:00pm. The course runs along Seven Mile Beach from Governor’s Beach (start and registration) to Public Beach.

Long distance swims: The 2-mile, 5k and 10k races are typically start early morning. The course is a loop course, starting and finishing at the same site.

Online pre-registration is available for most CIASA swims. You will still need to check in on race day during the registration/check-in period to pay and collect your swim cap. Pre-registration for all of our events is encouraged so that check-in moves more quickly and smoothly. We hope to offer an online payment feature in the future.
