| Dwight Crum Pier-to-Pier Swim
|
| Description |
The Dwight Crum Pier-to-Pier Swim is one of the most popular long distance swims in the United States. Last year over 1100 swimmers completed this grueling two-mile course. Swimmers begin the race on the south side of the Hermosa Beach Pier. They swim round the Pier, parallel to shore then round the Manhattan Beach Pier and finish on the beach.
Any contestant who did not complete the 2015 Pier-to-Pier swim must register for the swim on-line and then pass a 500-meter “check out” swim. Swim “check outs” will be held at the Hermosa Beach Pier on July 16th, 23rd, and 24th, 2016 from 9am – 11am. Decisions of Lifeguards at “check out” are final.
2015 Dwight Crum Pier-to-Pier Swim finishers are exempt from “check out”. The swim will again be conducted in 3 heats. The first heat, male swimsuit, will start at 9:00 am. The second heat, female swimsuit & wetsuit, will start at 9:05 am. The third heat, male wetsuit, will start at 9:10 am. |
