Lake Tahoe Open Water Swimming Association

Solo and Relay Marathon Swims

Lake Tahoe Triple Crown

With the formation of the Lake Tahoe Open Water Swimming Association in 2018 and official establishment of course and rules for the 12-mile True Width™, the Lake Tahoe Triple Crown of open water swimming was defined and exclusively created.

Combining the historic sanctioned courses of the 21.3-mile Length and 10.6-mile Vikingsholm with the  12-mile True Width, these courses are the three jewels of the Lake Tahoe Triple Crown™ as defined and awarded by the Lake Tahoe Open Water Swimming Association.

Prior to 2018 and the formation of the Lake Tahoe Open Water Swimming Association, Tahoe swims were independent marathon swims and not governed by an official local sanctioning organization. Swims considered for the Lake Tahoe Triple Crown after 2018 must be observed under the Lake Tahoe Open Water Swimming Association.
