Save Our Shores Open Water Swim, presented by The Lawson Group

Save Our Shores swim 2023 logo

This year is the 50th anniversary of Save Our Shores, an initiative begun by local women. Their campaign effectively halted the construction of an oil refinery along the Seacoast and an underwater pipeline from the Isles of Shoals. Imagine how different our coastline would have looked if it were not for this courageous group!

To honor this significant milestone and generate funds for ocean conservation, a team of highly experienced swimmers will swim from the Isles of Shoals to the mainland on August 20. As they reach the shore, we’ll also be conducting a beach cleanup on Pirate’s Cove Beach. Join us for this epic event!

You can contribute to this endeavor!

  • Support a swimmer by donating. Each team has committed to raising at least $500
  • Our goal is to raise $15,000 during this event, and as of 8/18, we have raised over $12,700. We are so close to our goal!
  • Purchase a limited-edition shirt
  • Purchase a commemorative print created by a local artist
