2018 Ocean Swimming Point Series

OceanSwimmingPointSeriesThe Semana Nautica Festival will recognize an outstanding male and female ocean swimming athlete in 2018 with the Semana Nautica Ocean Swimmer of the Year Award.

To qualify for this distinguished award, the recipient will have to compete in the following ocean swim races during the Semana Nautica Festival:

1) Semana Nautica 1-mile ocean swim (June 30, 2018)
2) one of the two Reef & Run 1-mile ocean swims (June 28, 2018 and July 5, 2018)
4) either the 3-mile ocean swim or the 6-mile ocean swim (July 1, 2018 or July 8, 2018)

For each of these swims, points will be allocated equal to the participant’s overall finishing place in his/her gender. Swimmers who are unable to compete in the 3 mile or the 6 mile ocean swims will be considered for the award but will be handicapped by an additional 40 points added to their total. If a participant swims in more than one of the weekly Reef & Run qualifying events, the best finish will be used for consideration.

RESULTS & PAST WINNERS

The two Semana Nautica Ocean Swimmers of the Year will receive a free entry for the final Reef & Run boat to beach swim on August 30, 2018 and will be recognized at the conclusion of that swim race. The male and female recipients of this annual award will also be memorialized with his and her names on a plaque at the Cabrillo Bathhouse.

Wetsuit Policy: Wetsuits are allowed if the individual swim event allows for them. The 1-mile, 3-mile, and 6-mile do not officially allow wetsuits. They are allowed at Reef & Run.
