Furthermore, its paddlers continue to strive towards excellence in performance and are determined to stop nowhere short of World Champions.

Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays at 6:00 PM to dusk, June through mid October. For more info go to http://sowat-swimming.org and http://home-pacbell.net/leewaysf/sowat.html.

During the beautiful summer there may be a couple dozen ocean swimmers of varying ability and speed.

Each week we choose a different swim course based on the interest and ability of that day’s swimmers. The Sunday swim is not a race - the Avila Dolphins are for support and friendship. Some swimmers wear wetsuits, some don’t. Water temperature at Avila Beach varies from a low of 51 degrees in the spring to a high of 62 degrees in the late summer.
