Welcome to the Tahoe City Swim

Lake Tahoe is renowned as one of the world’s premier sports destinations. The region offers a diverse array of spectacular mountain biking trails, thrilling hiking opportunities, and a variety of water activities on Lake Tahoe, known as the “Big Blue.” This lake is one of the largest, deepest, and purest alpine lakes on Earth. The Tahoe City Swim takes place in historic Tahoe City and showcases the lake’s clear and pristine waters. Participants can choose from three different courses: a half-mile, a 1.2-mile, or a 2.4-mile swim, all of which are located just off Commons Beach, allowing spectators to watch the event up close.
