Semana Nautica’s ocean-swimming events are less than a month away, with a couple of schedule changes to take note of.
In a change from years past, the 3-mile swim comes first, scheduled for Saturday morning, June 30.
The Mullen & Henzell 1-mile ocean swim, starting and finishing at East Beach like the 3-miler, has been moved to the following weekend (Saturday, July 7).
Registration for both races occur the morning of the event starting at 8 a.m.
More registration and event info can be found HERE.
The six-mile swim, which begins at Goleta Beach and ends at Hendrys, remains on its usual second weekend of the festival. The six-miler is set for Sunday, July 8.
Unlike the shorter distances, the 6-mile race requires advance registration, with entry forms due on June 27.
