The Coeur d' Alene Crossing 2024- Presented by Parker Subaru

We offer two different distances in a single race each year.  The 2.4 mile start is at Discovery Marina at Gozzer Ranch Lake Club and the finish is at the Hagadone Event Center. The 1.2 mile swim is from the middle of the lake to the Hagadone Event Center.  Swimmers doing the 2.4 mile swim will be transported to Discovery Marina on a CDA cruise boat.  Swimmers doing the 1.2 mile swim will be transported to the middle of the lake via cruise boat.  The boats will leave the Hagadone Event Center at 6:30am for the 2.4 mile racers.  Boarding will be at 6:00am.  Swimmers racing the 1.2 mile race will board at 7:00am, and leave the dock at 7:30am. Final start information will be outlined in the Pre-Race Technical Briefing at the boat.  Participants swimming the 2.4 mile swim must be at least half way before the official clock is at 1 hour and 10 minutes. Any swimmers failing to be halfway over the allotted time will be stopped and listed as DNF.  Paramedics and Law Enforcement will be present. Water temperature in Lake Coeur d’Alene is expected to be appx 72 F.  Wetsuits will be allowed but not mandatory. 

This open water swim is designed to raise money for the Coeur d'Alene Area youth aquatics programs, including 3rd Grade Swim at the KROC.  We provide the profits from the event to support a variety of youth swim programs. You are also welcome to add a separate donation during the check-out process. Even if friends and family cannot participate they can support with selecting a donation option during check out. This event supports the 3rd grade swim program held at the KROC that allows 3rd graders from CDA, Post Falls, Lakeland and Hayden to learn essential swim skills for safety and enjoyment in the waters that surround our area. This program is designed to allow access to swimming skills that can save lives of children enjoying our beautiful water surroundings. The Kroc water polo competitive team will also benefit from this event to help them with their local and extended travel needs to compete at the highest levels in water polo.

Spectator tickets on the cruise boat will become available for purchase on March 1, 2024.
