CT Open Water Championship 2026

Swimmers at the CT Open Water Championship can select from a 1K Mini Mile, a 2.5K race, or a 5K race in Middlebury, Connecticut. The event takes place on a Saturday in late June at 2131 Middlebury Road and is organized by Connecticut Swimming, resembling a swim-meet setup more than a road-race festival. The morning begins with the 2.5K at 7:30, followed by the 5K at 8:00, and the 1K Mini Mile at 9:30. The format offers straightforward options: a short open-water swim, a middle-distance race, or a 5K for swimmers seeking a longer endurance challenge away from the pool.
