There are 3 distance options to choose from: 1/2 mile, 1 mile and 2 miles making this the perfect event for an enjoyable and memorable open water swim.
“Swim Serpentine is amazing because you are out in the open and you are racing against yourself. You’re not even really racing! You’re just out in mother nature, trying to take in some of the views. There’s so much more enjoyment in that than a race.” (2023 event participant)
