Glenda Carroll, Pacific Masters Open Water Chair, announced tonight that due to higher than normal bacteria levels in the Russian River, the Russian River Challenge swims have been cancelled. Bacterial levels have exceeded State guidelines.  

 

Full refunds will be given.

 

Your health, safety and enjoyment of open water is our priority. 

As the decision was made late Friday afternoon, we are sending out this special email. The organizers of the open water swim are trying to determine if it will be possible to replace this swim later this year. More information about the cancelled swim will be in the regular Update.
