Live Wildly Open Water Team Challenge, Celebrating Worlds Swim Day 2026

The race.

The Live Wildly Open Water Team Challenge takes place on October 24, 2026, in Saint Pete Beach, Florida, as part of World Swim Day celebrations. Participants compete in a 4-mile team relay format using a ¼-mile open-water loop course. Teams consist of 3 to 8 swimmers, with each member completing one loop before tagging the next teammate; no swimmer may complete more than 3 loops, and no consecutive loops by the same swimmer are allowed. A solo endurance option is available for individual participants who swim the loop, exit the water, run around shoreline flags, and re-enter. Proceeds benefit the Florida Wildlife Corridor.
