Celebrate the end of summer with a favorite tradition, the Arthur J. Ladrigan Swim Races and Family Fun Day at Bayley Beach, on Sunday, September 7. This event brings the community together for a morning of open-water races and classic beachside fun. Join us for the iconic Lighthouse Race, a one-mile swim from the iconic Green’s Ledge Lighthouse to shore, Bouy Race, Children's Race & Beach Games!
Check in will begin at 7:30 at Bayley Beach, and remain open until the last boat leaves for the Light at 9. Please bring your confirmation or final instruction email, either printed out or on your phone, and show the QR code to a volunteer to be issued your timing chip and swim cap. Check-in for Lighthouse Race swimmers and their kayak escorts. All swimmers must be accompanied by a kayak escort.
Shuttle boats will begin taking swimmers to the light, where they can view the amazing renovations done over the last five years, and enjoy light refreshments.
Simultaneous with the Lighthouse Race is the Buoy Race, a swim from the buoy to the shore. Last but certainly not least, are the non-timed Children’s Swim Races, which are grouped by age and run parallel to the beach.
After the races and a brief competitor celebration, the fun continues with beach games for the whole family, including a tug-of-war, pie-eating contest, and the always-popular egg toss!
Whether you’re racing, cheering, or just enjoying the day by the water, this is a great event to close out the summer season. For more information, please contact info@rowaytoncivic.org
