Lowcountry Splash

The Lowcountry Splash is South Carolina's premier open water swim, held annually in Charleston. Competitors range from ages 10 to 82, taking on the challenge of swimming with an outgoing tide. Participants start wet at designated locations and finish at the Charleston Harbor Marina by the USS Yorktown. The event originated with a vision for a challenging swim across Charleston Harbor before transitioning to its current setting in 2001. Over the years, it has attracted swimmers from numerous states and countries, drawing acclaim for its sporting achievements, though the event was once canceled due to inclement weather.
