SUMMARY:2026 Columbia River Cross Channel Swim
DESCRIPTION:Join us on the banks of the Columbia River this Labor Day for an exhilarating open-water swim.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is OPEN! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor 81 years\, swimmers have boarded the famous Sternwheeler paddleboat on the south shore of the Columbia River\, at the dock in Cascade Locks\, and are ferried to the Washington side of the river. When signaled\, swimmers jump off the Sternwheeler into the Columbia and swim an approximately 1.1-mile stretch across to Cascade Locks. To help them find their way\, a special swim lane lined with volunteers in sailboats\, kayaks\, and paddle boards are there to guide\, encourage\, and protect swimmers as they cross the channel. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAges 10 & up may participate\nAges 10-14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian \nCheck in: 6:00-7:15am | Boat begins loading at 7:15 am.\n8am start time. \n\n\n\n\nRegister HERE! \nSafety equipment:\nNew this year\, all swimmers are required to swim with a tow buoy. Brightly colored swim caps are required\, however we are no longer providing branded caps as part of registration\, we’ve received feedback that the one size fits all caps are not ideal. You may still purchase one through our website. Wetsuits are optional. \n  \nThank you to our sponsor! \n
