Attention, all open water swimming enthusiasts:

Aquathon of Laguna Beach 2020 is canceled because being in saltwater is a healthy activity. However, the City of Laguna Beach has been super to allow this non-event to continue, as long as "diving masks" are worn. 

If you want to spend a leisurely day walking and swimming the Laguna coastline, Sept 13 at 8 am is a good time to be at Crescent Bay for a start at 9 am.

Donations to the Laguna Beach Lifeguard Foundation will be accepted and matched a minimum of 3X by the Aquathon.

Read "Required Gear" link on the main page at Aquathon.com, and as always, dial in your daily dose of Ocean Info: (949) 494-6573
