Sharks in Boston Harbor? Bostonians call them “Shaaahks”! Imagine swimming across Boston Harbor from East Boston to finish at the Moakley Courthouse. The 1500 meter competitive swim will have downtown Boston for a backdrop as athletes navigate across Boston Harbor. The Coast Guard will help control all boat traffic in the channel during this event. The event is limited to 400 participants - so don't wait too long to register! This will be the talk of the New England swim circuit.

PLEASE NOTE: This swim is not for novices. This event is for experienced open-water swimmers only. You should be able to swim one mile comfortably in a pool in under 40 minutes. Also the water quality in Boston's inner harbor is safe for swimming. The City of Boston and other agencies test the water on a regular basis. We take water quality issues very seriously and we will ensure the water is safe for swimming and the event.
