Booth Lake Memorial Swim

Participants are invited to take part in a professionally supervised and timed open-water swim offering four distances: 

• 0.75 Mile (1 Lap with a 40-minute Cut-off Time)
• 1.2 Mile (1 Lap with a 1 hour and 10-minute Cut-off Time)

• 5K (3 Laps with the third lap being shorter and a 2 hour and 40 Minute Cut-off Time).  One nutrition aid station will be on course for the 5 km swim near the start of each lap.

The course is set in open water with clearly marked buoys allowing swimmers to navigate confidently and safely.  

To ensure a high level of safety, the event features lifeguard stationed along the course (as well as the support of the Police Water Patrol).  In addition, kayak and paddleboard support teams patrol the swim course, providing guidance, monitoring swimmer progress, and offering immediate assistance if needed. The swim event date was pushed back to June 6th to provide swimmers warmer water temperatures, average water temperature at this time is 74 degrees.  

Before the event, swimmers receive a brief safety orientation covering sighting, course layout, and emergency procedures.  Throughout the event, support staff communicate to maintain constant coverage and quick response capability.  

All participants receive a Finishing Metal.  Metals are awarded to the Overall Winners Male and Female.  Awards will also be given out for each event in the following Age Groups: Male/Female 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+

Swim Requirements:  All swimmers should have some open water swimming experience and be able to swim a mile under 60 minutes in a pool.  Swimmers must pick-up their race packet in person the morning of the race (Saturday, June 6, 2025) and will be required to show a picture ID.  All swimmers must sign a waiver the morning of packet pick-up.   No swimmers under the age of 18 years of age are allowed.
