About Waikīkī Swim Club
Waikīkī Swim Club® was started in 1971, and is Hawai’i’s oldest organized club devoted to promoting safe and fun ocean swimming.
Weekly Swims
Waikīkī Swim Club is primarily focused on ocean swimming, and meet on weekends for long distance open ocean swims. Many, but not all, of our members were competitive swimmers and swim in various masters swim programs during the week. Others are strong recreational swimmers that have built their confidence in the ocean over time. In the pool we do “yardage” interval swimming, but in the ocean we do “mileage,” as in 2-3 miles on weekend swims. Many members also compete in a variety of ocean races and biathlons throughout the year on O’ahu.
We welcome swimmers from Hawai’i to enjoy our ocean and our friendship. If you live on O’ahu and are interested in ocean swimming, please answer the questions in the swimmer assessment form.
Please be sure to communicate clearly with your contacts about where and when to meet and realize that there may be other groups of swimmers of various speeds in the area. Know who you are swimming with and stay with the group even if you are a faster swimmer.
Never leave group members behind in the open ocean – if you choose to split off into multiple groups, ensure to communicate your intent with the group you started with.
