Join us at the beautiful Pass a Grill, St Pete Beach on May 16, 2026
Dive into 2026! New Distances, Same Intimate Spirit.
The Sunshine Open Water Swim Series is back with two stunning dates:
🌊 March 7, 2026 - Pass-a-Grill Beach
🌊 May 16, 2026 - Pass-a-Grill Beach
We're growing thoughtfully! To celebrate every swimmer, we're adding a 10K challenge for the ultra-distance seekers and a 1/4 mile splash for newcomers and families or swim what you can, 100, 200, 300 yards to the finish.
Our staged start ensures a perfect day for all:
10K → 5K → 1.2 Mile → 1/2 Mile → 1/4 Mile or swim what you can for kids 12 and under and champions of ability swim any distance.
I love creating these small, meaningful events where we push limits and share the open water spirit together. To keep that special atmosphere, participation will be capped at 150-200 swimmers.
Your support means the world. Interested in sponsoring this passion project? I'd love to chat! DM me or email me at owsleo11@gmail.com.
Thank you for being part of the journey. Let's make 2026 unforgettable!
