Southeastern Aquatics

By the power vested in Shark Free Swimming by absolutely no governing body whatsoever, you are hereby invited to compete in the totally self proclaimed World Open Water Swimming Graded Championships-that we decided is the most prestigious open water swim event on this side of the galaxy. This once-in-lifetime (and also annual, if we feel like it) event will determine World Champions by Age and Gender, ensuring maximum inclusivity and a statistically impressive number of champions. Odds of winning a "world title" have never been better.

Come out and celebrate open water swimmers of all ages and genders through age-graded and gender-based results. While proudly self-declared, this event is designed to showcase performances across age- and gender-based categories, giving every swimmer a chance to compete for "world championship" bragging rights. The goal is to recognize outstanding performances across the entire swimming community, not just elite competitors.

Whether you're racing for glory, personal best, or just a great swim experience, this event is all about strong swims, good company, and a bit of fun competition.

Hope to see you at the "Championships"!

Registration Includes: Swim cap, lightweight hoodie w/logo, awards for each distance (age, gender and overall), and timed results.

The 2nd Annual "Swim of Legends" will be held on August 30th, 2026. Finish the summer with an open water ultra distance swim in the clear waters of iconic Geneva Lake! This is a US Masters certified swim! A USMS membership is required, $20 will be taken off registration cost if you are an annual USMS member. This event provides a secure, well-supported environment for experienced swimmers. The swim will be about 11 kilometers (7 miles). Each swimmer will be required to use a visibility float (swim buoy), we will have small ones to minimize drag that can be used for the race.

Wetsuits will not be allowed unless water temperatures are significantly cooler than the expected 78 degrees.
