Jim Doty Memorial Mile

The Doty swim is an informal, one- and two-mile swim held in memory of James Doty. This is a great starter open water event for athletes making the transition to triathlon, open water newbies, teens, and swimmers who might be a little anxious about leaving the chlorinated confines of the pool behind. Wetsuits are encouraged, and for timid or special-needs swimmers looking for extra support on the 1-mile swim, please reach out to us about swimming with a Swim Angel. Swim Angels are experienced open water swimmers who have volunteered to swim with another swimmer for the duration of the event. They are there to make you feel comfortable in the water, cheer you on during brief swimming breaks, and if needed, guide you out of the water if you are feeling uncomfortable at any time.
