Green Whales, Inc., along with the Brigantine Beach Patrol, bring you the Greenhead Ocean Mile. This year's events include:

  • 500yd Flag Swim.  250yd out and back.  Ages 7 - 16
  • 1 Mile Ocean Swim.  Ages 16 and over. 

We will start with the flag swim and finish with the mile. All proceeds from the event support Green Whales Inc.'s swim programs and the Brigantine Beach Patrol LIT and Junior Guard programs.

This is an open water ocean swim; the current and wave conditions are unpredictable.  Please use good judgment if you are uncertain about swimming in rough water.  The course is set; however, the race committee reserves the right to change the direction of each event due to water conditions. The details of each event with landmarks are provided in the race map(s). Any questions about the course will be addressed at the pre-race meeting by the Race Referee.
