Donner Lake Swim 2025
The 44th Annual Donner Lake Swim will be on Saturday, August 9, 2025. See webpage at https://www.donnerlakeswim.org/
Registration of 475 swimmers was completed within ~9 minutes on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, by 9:09 am Pacific Time. That is likely a record registration window. The DLS committee will be exploring alternative registration options at its future meetings.
Volunteers for race day are needed including motorized boats, kayakers, and assistance at the start/finish. Please contact our Race Director, Laura Harsh at donnerlakeswim@gmail.com
Any Interest in Open Water Swimming?
Please contact Scott Evans at 775-240-4864 (call or text) if you are interested in forming an independent group to swim in open water.
Any such open water group swims, if they do not strictly adhere to USMS Guide to Running an Open Water Swim Practice will be uninsured. It is highly recommended that any participants read this USMS Guide.
In any event, Sierra Nevada Masters Swimming (SNM) is not organizing, overseeing, promoting, or sanctioning any such open water swim practices. Accordingly, participants acknowledge that they are aware SNM is not involved and further they are aware of all the risks inherent in open water swimming including possible permanent disability or death and agree to assume all those risks should they participate.
Looking forward to our upcoming move outside!
Thank you.
