Spring Lake
May 18
Spring Lake, Santa Rosa, is the first swim of the PacMasters Open Water Season.
This is a great swim for the novice and experienced open water swimmer. The looped course around the lake is easy to follow and you are always close to shore. The lifeguards on the water put on a safe and fun event. Best of all, the swims are finished early so you can enjoy the rest of the day in the North Bay. Join us! Information and Registration
