Dive into one of the most iconic open‑water races on the Carolina coast! Swim The Loop launches from Dockside Restaurant on Airlie Road and takes athletes through a dynamic 3.5‑mile course across the Intracoastal Waterway. Starting at high tide, swimmers will experience a mix of incoming, falling, and slack tides—making this route both fair and fiercely rewarding.
Prefer a shorter challenge? The Mott’s Channel Sprint offers a fast, scenic 1.3‑mile point‑to‑point swim beginning at Trailborn Surf & Sound on Wrightsville Beach and finishing at Dockside. With a high‑tide start and mostly incoming to slack water, it’s the perfect option for newer racers or those looking to turn up the speed.
Whether you’re chasing a PR or soaking in the coastal views, this event delivers an unforgettable open‑water experience. Join us on the water and make your stroke count.
