Kroc masters swim on Saturday

The Kroc Center's masters open water swim is scheduled to begin at 8:15 a.m. Saturday.

Swimmers will start near the Second Street entrance to Tubbs Hill and swim around the hill to the finish line at Sanders Beach, covering about 1.3 miles.

The water will be more than 70 degrees, with relatively calm, sunny conditions expected.

All swimmers must be U.S. Masters Swimming members. 

The scenic point-to-point course has limited access points and rugged terrain for climbing out and walking to the start or finish. There will be a time limit and swimmers will be pulled out if they are not meeting the minimum swim time.

Participants is limited to 125 swimmers. So far, about 75 swimmers have signed on.

Day-of-race registration is $80. A one-event USMS membership is available for $20.
