Sunshine Open Water Swim March 7, 2026

About the Event

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 - Indian Rocks Beach

We're growing thoughtfully! To celebrate every swimmer, we're adding a 10K challenge for the ultra-distance seekers ( 2 5 k loops)

Our staged start ensures a perfect day for all:
10K → 5K → 1.2 Mile → 1/2 Mile

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!

About Saint Petersburg

Learn more about the host city, Saint Petersburg.

Saint Petersburg sits at the base of the Tampa Bay peninsula in Pinellas County, Florida, and enjoys a more subdued social atmosphere than its larger cousin, Tampa. The city has tried to characterize the downtown as an arts and entertainments destination and you will find no shortage of arts and crafts stores, galleries, and museums along with cafes and boutique food shops all within a couple blocks of the Tampa Bay waterfront. With water on three sides of the city, St. Pete is a superb location for fishing, sailing, and wandering beaches.
