Annual Lake Berryessa Swim
Youth and Adult 1&2 Mile Open Water Event

The Lake Berryessa Swim is one of the longest running open water swims in America. Join hundreds of other USMS swimmers for the 1-mile and/or 2-mile swim then party/picnic at the lake!

The event is located at Steele Canyon Campground, near the junction of highways 128 and 121.  This venue features plenty of off-street parking and campsites available for the weekend. The water is clean, comfortable and the weather is, more often than not, fine!

Fees include swim cap, official Berryessa mug (Mugs guaranteed only for first 300 swimmers to register. Race day mugs subject to availability), post race refreshments & online race results.

USMS races are for adults ages 18 - 80+ years old. USAS races are for teenagers ages 11-19+.
