Registration remains open for the T. John Carey Masters Swim on July 27 in Ocean City.
Originally set for July 6, the race was rescheduled due to ocean temperatures below 60 degrees.
The Masters Swim has been one of the premier open-water swimming events on the Jersey Shore since 1979.
The one-mile ocean race follows a point-to-point course that runs parallel to the beach. Race directors determine the direction of the swim on the day of the race to take advantage of the most favorable conditions.
Competitors will enjoy views of shops and rides as they swim along the Boardwalk, passing the iconic Music Pier, during a race with an evening start time of 6:15 p.m. (in recent years, the swim was held as a morning event off 34th Street).
Parking will be available for competitors at the Ocean City Tabernacle with transportation to the start.
