ISCA East Coast Open Water Championship

SUNDAY, September 26, 2021

NEW LOCATION

Smith Mountain Lake State Park

1235 State Park Road

Huddleston, VA 24104

2021 ISCA East Coast Open Water Championship is a month away. We are excited for what could be the best Open Water Swim on the east coast! We moved the location this year from Mariner's Landing to, just down the road, Smith Mountain Lake State Park. We will be able to accommodate more parking, better viewing, and the availability to have a bigger event. There will be food, ice-cream, music and fast swimming. We want you and your team to be part of it.

This is a great way to create a team bonding weekend to kick-off your short course season. Our goal is to have 1,000 swimmers, which is double of what we had last year, which was close to 500. To make it a success, we need YOU! We have age-group events, and adult events. There is a category for everyone. Please put on your suit and join us for a fun-filled day with great swimming.

There are many hotels in the area, and also Airbnb and VRBO properties in the area to accommodate individuals and teams. For any questions or help, please contact the ISCA Office at (540) 904-2666, or email info@swimisca.org.
