Lake Moomaw Open Water Swim Is One-of-a-Kind Event 

The Lake Moomaw 1 Mile Open Water Swim is on Saturday, Aug. 19, and with space limited to 100 swimmers, there are just a few spots left!  

The scenery is beautiful, and the swim is a one-of-a-kind experience in the Alleghany Highlands. It’s something that anyone who can swim a mile in under an hour can do. 

Here’s what you need to know: 

  • The start (9 a.m.) and finish is on the beach at Coles Point, clearly visible to spectators and race personnel. 
  • The course runs along the shore to the south, approximately 50 yards out, and continues east and north around buoys that will be clearly visible. 
  • Swimmers will reach the turn-around point inside the “no wake zone” in the inlet and turn counter-clockwise around a buoy and swim back to the beach via the same route. (Buoys will remain to the swimmers’ left) 

Here are some add-on suggestions to make a day out of it:
