The 2012 race included swimmers from all over the US, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, Minnesota and California. Swimmers from Juneau also participated. Local swimmers turned out in record numbers with 16 hailing from Sitka.

This was the first year for the race to offer the 1K distance for both adults and youth. Race organizers were very excited to offer the new race to offer both the kids and adults. For some it was a great opportunity to try open water swimming as a competitive event. Whether competing against others or a personal goal or two, getting in and swimming any of the distances in this challenge is definitely courageous.
