    This is a perfect training swim for participants who are registered for Cedar Island 5K Swim on August 25th!

This is an event to familiarize you with the end of the course surroundings and key site locations on it, the current, and open water swimming in a group. The Cedar Island 5K Swim can be a little overwhelming with 300 swimmers. This practice swim with a smaller group of 150 swimmers will give you the confidence for a safe and successful race for both events.
