Spectators will be able to spread out and watch the swim from the famous Brownstone Trail and Wild Rice Retreat Center property. This particular section of Lake Superior provides great views of the scenic landscape, including beautiful stone cliffs.

Race Postponement & Cancellation Policy  

If the 2021 event has to be cancelled due to COVID-19, all registration fees, minus the online processing fee, will be refunded. RFR & the Bayfield Rec Center will not be keeping any of the registration dollars in this case.

In case of individual cancellation or event cancellation due to weather, there are no refunds, transfers, or credits. We recommend cancellation insurance.

​The Point to La Pointe Open Water Swim operates on a permit from the US Coast Guard. The safety of the swimmers and safety team is our top priority. For this reason, race organizers, in consultation with the US Coast Guard, will postpone or cancel the race under the following conditions:

• Fog - the finish line must be visible to the naked eye from Bayfield.  
• Lightning – the race will not be started if there is visible lightening, audible thunder, or a weather radar showing a threatening system approaching the area.  
• Winds and Waves – the race will not be started if wave heights exceed 3’ on the course. 
• Race Organizers reserve the right to postpone, alter, or cancel the race for any reason. 

​
If the race cannot start before 11am, it will be cancelled. Some conditions (strong winds or storms all day) may require outright cancellation. In the event of cancellation, no refunds will be issued.

If conditions become unsafe mid-race, swimmers will be pulled out of the water in accordance with the US Coast Guard approved safety plan.
