SPEED THROUGH LONG BEACH
You Belong In This Water.
Alamitos Beach is calm, sheltered, and welcoming. The SuperSprint swim is 375 meters in water that averages low 60s to 70s depending on the season. You’ll enter from the beach. You’ll swim parallel to the shore with lifeguard support the entire way.
This is not an open ocean swim. This is a breakwater-sheltered beach swim. Calm water. Clear sightlines. Support boats nearby. The First Timer Program includes swim clinics that prepare you for exactly this experience.
