The Junction Swim

🌊 Junction Swim Update 🌊

Unfortunately, the stars just haven’t aligned for us this year. Between tricky tides, limited water safety availability, and our own packed swim calendar, we’ve had to make the tough decision to postpone the Junction Swim until next year.

We share this news with a touch of disappointment, as we know how special this event is for our community and for those who love the challenge and beauty of ocean swimming. But rest assured, we’re already working hard behind the scenes to make sure the Junction Swim returns even stronger.

Thank you for your continued support and love of the ocean. Keep your eyes on the horizon—exciting things are coming!
