La Jolla Rough Water Swim
Coast Boulevard at Coast Walk Trail, San Diego, 92037
Cost: $40 - $110
The La Jolla Rough Water Swim is a summertime tradition dating back to the peaceful pre WWI days in San Diego, 1916, when seven men entered the water for the first 1.7 mile swim. Now there are over 2000 entrants in several divisions, from Junior to Masters and Gatorman.
A high-intensity aircraft-runway strobe beacon centered within a large red-and-yellow diamond target is located above the finish line to guide swimmers unfamiliar with the area and La Jolla Cove landmarks. Spectators free.
