Awesome Alki Bash

Words can't do justice to this exuberant Autumn swim in the Salish Sea. Many participants use this swim as essential training for Alcatraz and other ocean challenges. You’ll potentially see crab and starfish, and warm yourself by the bonfire as you enjoy your fish n’ chips from West Seattle’s famous Spud Restaurant. Note: You will feel most comfortable in this event if you continue your open water swimming into September. There may be strong current and/or wind. Celebrate our 10th anniversary and receive a commemorative sticker along with your fish and chips. Registration for this event closes at midnight on Thursday, September 23rd, or when all spaces are filled, whichever comes first.
