MILE BUOY SWIM 2020 - POSTPONED TO 2021
Unfortunately with the current (and planned) beach closures and rules against any group events on Santa Cruz County beaches, combined with so many logistical unknowns and potential health risks, Monterey Bay Swimming Association had made the difficult decision to postpone all 2020 group swim events and races until 2021. This includes the annual Mile Buoy and Pier-2-Pier Swims. Support for Solo swims is being considered case by case basis and will be determined by local boating and county regulations. If you have a solo swim planned, please stay in touch with your pilot and keep us informed on any changes to your swim plan.
