WILDWOOD – The first Pier to Pier Challenge took place on Lincoln Ave. Saturday, Aug. 1 at 6:30 p.m.
This spectator-friendly course gave swimmers the opportunity to utilize the skills that an ocean lifeguard uses on a daily basis; surf dashing, body surfing, and ocean swimming. The course consisted of two apex triangles bringing swimmers in through the surf and onto the beach at the half-mile mark. Novice open water swimmers had the opportunity to just swim the first triangle to gain experience and confidence in the open water by completing a half-mile swim.
Awards were given to the three overall male and female swimmers, male and female age groups from 10 and under through 50 and over, and to the top swim team and beach patrol. Proceeds from the Pier to Pier Challenge benefit the Wildwood Beach Patrol along with the South Jersey Triathlon Club.
