Event Description

Welcome to Fresh Start Swim Series. It's been a rough last few years for the world and Fresh Start Swim Series is looking to start over, bring fun, laughter, and inspiration back into the lives of our athletes by improving open water swim competitions and making the world a better place. Fresh Start Swim Series is composed of three separate events and held at three separate locations, the first of which consists of the 500m, a 5k, and a 10k to be held at St. Pete's Beach, rated #1 beach in the US and #5 world wide. The swim will be an adventurous twist, while most races hug the shore line, the race at St. Pete's Beach will start swimming directly out into the Gulf Of Mexico, and competitors will either swim an Out and Back, a Triangle or a Square depending on their chosen distance. Another innovative attribute of Fresh Start Swim Series is that it will be the first swim venue to boast a COVID Free environment. Competitors, volunteers and spectators will undergo COVID-19 testing at the venue prior to check-in. Lastly and most importantly, the Fresh Start Swim Series is a partnership between two fabulous non-profits; one matching, providing our veterans with the highest quality service dogs, and training them how to train service dogs in the process, and the other funding support for the victims of human trafficking.
