From the Organizer
The 2026 VBLA Ocean Swim Series 3K or Mile Swim is the second of three races on the VBLA Ocean Swim Series Calendar. The 3K moves the distance from the 1 Mile range closer to 2 miles while the 1-Mile option can test improvement from the first race (although every race is different in open water - that's the beauty of it!) The VBLA Swim Series is meant for experienced ocean racers and novice open water swimmers alike. Come find out how much fun it is to race without lines to guide you, rather a community of motivated swimmers ready to race and enjoy open water fun together!

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
Swimming events drop you into something that demands navigation, feel, and focus all at once. It's a sport that rewards the quietly competitive — the ones who do the work in the water before anyone's watching.
Open water races from 1 mile to marathon distance. Just you, the water, and whatever you've got left.
