Rules
There is a piece of carpet adjacent to the parking lot where swimmers enter the water. Please stay away from the sailboats and dock. There is a one mile swim option to the buoys as well as the option to stay out of the channel and swim from the sailboat dock to the dock located at the opposite end of the parking lot (this will keep you out of the channel).
Because we are sharing this space with the sailors, pleases observe the following code whilst swimming:
1. Boats have the right of way, not swimmers. We are guests in the area and need to yield to boat traffic. This means to keep an eye out for boats while sighting to the buoys.
2. Keep at least 100' from the docks at all times and never swim across the front of the cocks.
3. Stay out of the channel. This means swim on the north shsore side of the bay and aim for the far buoy.
4. Always wear a bright swim cap and buddy up when you swim.
