Tuesday Berkeley Night Swims are Back (After Current Pandemic Calms) Tuesday Open Water Swims Return

NOTE: Swims have been cancelled April-May due to the current pandemic. We will keep the community updated on further changes.

Throughout the year, Odyssey Open Water hosts weekly Berkeley swims that take place rain or shine. In the fall and winter, these swims occur every Sunday. In the spring and summer, Odyssey hosts weekly Berkeley swims on both Tuesdays and Sundays! 

During the winter, as the water temperature drops, fewer swimmers brave the cold water, and groups can shrink to around 12 swimmers, or smaller. During the spring and summer, our swims are packed full of local swimmers. In 2019, we broke our largest weekly swim record three times, and have a new record of 75 swimmers joining us for a single Berkeley swim (our public Alcatraz swims have exceeded 100 swimmers).

Spring is almost here, and Tuesday Berkeley swims are coming. On April 7, we will host our first Tuesday Berkeley swim of the year. From April 7 - April 28, Tuesday swims will start at 6PM. Starting May 5, Berkeley swims will begin at 6:30. 

Swim length depends on the comfort and experience level of each swimmer, and can range from .5 - 2 miles. Swims are priced affordably at $20, and swim support will be available during the swim. Our trained coaches and kayakers are out there in the water overseeing swimmers and intervening if needed.
