Our Story

What began in 2014 as a small group of ocean swimmers in Redondo Beach has grown into a vibrant, connected community. Within just a few years, our Saturday morning swims drew more than a hundred people, gathering not just to swim, but to clean the beach, share coffee, and build something deeper. As members moved away, they carried our spirit with them, starting new chapters to stay connected and share the experience with others. Today, we swim together weekly in four locations across California. 

​

As Jacques Cousteau once said, “People protect what they love.” That’s why we swim. That’s why we protect.

We invite you to join us in the water, on the sand, and in the effort to preserve these extraordinary places for generations to come.
