East Coast Open Water Festival

September 24th-25th, 2022

We want to invite every team and every individual to an exciting kick off to your 2022-2023 swim season. September 24th-25th at Smith Mountain Lake State Park we will be hosting a weekend Water Festival that should have something for everyone. There will also be music, food, and ice cream galore.

This would be a great way for any team to start your team building process for the upcoming year, and have fun doing it. Smith Mountain Lake is the largest inland lake on the East Coast and a great place for all water activities. We are working with Bridgewater Marina on getting special rates for any participant on pontoon boats, personal water crafts, and run about boats.
