LKN SEAL Swim

Join the SEALs in our Community Swim

We are expanding the swim this year to include kayakers and paddle boarders to join in the fun.  All participants will launch in heats, 1st heat kayak, 2nd heat paddleboard, 3rd heat swimmers going out to the 1/2 mile mark and then returning to the starting point on shore. 

All participants are required to raise a minimum of $75.00 for “SEAL Swim Charities” and be physically capable of swimming/kayaking/paddle boarding the distance.   Swim assists such as fins, goggles, masks, and/or snorkels are absolutely fine.  

Each heat (swim/kayak/paddleboard) will be a race, to compete in the swim the only gear allowed will be goggles.  I REPEAT TO COMPETE IN THE SWIM THE ONLY GEAR ALLOWED IS GOGGLES.

We want everyone to be comfortable, compete, and have a great time.  Public safety vessels will be on hand as escorts and in addition to our SEALs, we will have Navy Combat Search and Rescue Swimmers and life guards in the water to ensure everyone’s safety.

If you have a swim team or club that would like to participate as a group we welcome you, but keep in mind that each swimmer is required to raise $75.00 and complete the documents below.

Below are several documents that each swimmer will need to provide prior to the swim.  We ask that all interested swimmers to fill these out and bring them on the morning of the swim.

Thanks and we hope to see you in the water!
