Sanctioned Swims
A sanctioned swim is completed following a set of rules and standards agreed to by the swimmer and the sanctioning organization. The swim is completed under the supervision of a trained observer who verifies and documents the integrity of the swim.
The Monterey Bay Swimming Association is available to observe and sanction swims across the Monterey Bay, between Santa Cruz and Monterey, California.
