Training Swim for the Dwight Crum Pier to Pier Swim. The Pier-to-Pier Swim is celebrating its 63rd anniversary and remains one of the most popular long distance swim races in the United States. In 2025, more than 1,000 swimmers completed this two-mile course. We will be training on the course on Sunday, July 19 and Sunday, July 26. We will meet at 8 am on the north side of the Manhattan Beach Pier and the Strand, then together walk down together to the beach to drop our bags, then walk south soon after 8:10am. We recommend that you train on the course as the current can be surprising and to get practice rounding the piers. There are pay parking lots near the pier, 12th & Morningside, Metlox garage and other locations in Manhattan Beach. The Metlox garage as it is protected and offers various parking lengths. Please note that if you did not compete in 2025, you will need to do the check-out swim on Saturday or Sunday July 11th, 18th, and 19th from 9am � 11am on the south side of the Hermosa Beach Pier. Registrations closes on Sunday, July 20. We have a Club discount for $5 off your registration: LA-TRI For more information on the Swim. https://www.surffestival.org/swim If you have any questions about the training, the race, or parking in Manhattan Beach, please email, call or text me (mandrulis@yahoo.com, 310.569.0351).
