24-Hr Swim Relay

24-Hr Swim Relay Not a race, not a fundraiser, just fun. Weirdly fun and strangely doable. Each team has a swimmer in the water for 24 hours from 9 a.m. Saturday to 9 a.m.

Sunday in San Francisco’s Aquatic Park in late January or early February, rain or shine. Make your own team or ask to be placed with one. Swim as long or short as your team likes. Swim in a wetsuit or naked with a rubber dolphin strapped to your cap. All are welcome. Not a race, not a fundraiser. Just fun. Suzie Dods started the 24 Hr Swim relay in 2013. She is a swim legend, marathon swimmer, and

coach who leads an annual swim adventure in Greece. Suzie has handed her organizing flippers over to Pia Hinckle, Crissa Williams, and Elaine Van Vleck, all 24 Hr Relay Swim veterans (Go Octopods!) and friends of Suzie. Our goal is to continue the relay with her same spirit of inclusiveness, goofiness, and community. Join us by signing up to the mailing list on our website: https://24hrswimrelay.com/

The 24-Hr Swim Relay is a wrap! I tried to post this last night from my bathtub and FB crashed (maybe too much human happiness?). Thank you to all the swimmers, volunteers, SERC for friday night dinner & happy hour and the Dolphin Club for hosting, and especially the one and only Suzie Dods who started this madness and handed her flippers over this year to Crissa, Elaine & Pia. After years of rain, hail, cold, gale winds and bomb cyclones, this year the weather gods bestowed a magical calm that kept everyone smiling, even during the witching hours between 1 and 4 am. Many swimmers mentioned how much they love this relay for the challenge to body and mind and the community it builds. It is a swimming slumber party that is weirdly fun and strangely doable.
