The Committee for the Great Salt Pond’s 11th annual swim, known as The Great Salt Pond Swim 11–2026.

This will be a one (1) mile swim limited to 150 individuals, starting at Andy’s Way Beach, swimming out toward Beane Point, and returning to Andy’s Way Beach.

The swimmer registration fee for the event is $60.00. Registration is now open. This is a great opportunity for first-time open water swimmers. The swim course is in a protected area with not much chop. In addition, the swim will take place along a straight line, marked by buoys.

This swim will be an annual fundraiser, serving to support our efforts to protect The Great Salt Pond, and provide funds for additional water testing in the recreational swim areas.
