More than 500 athletes rushed the shoreline in droves Monday morning for the 95th Annual Oceanside Pier Swim, tackling the mile-long route around the pier.
“It is true, open ocean so you have the currents, you have the waves, you have those natural elements, but today we had really good conditions,” said Race Director Sabrina Houston, who told CBS 8 it was especially important to hold the event this year.
“It’s a big year for the Oceanside Pier because it was on fire earlier this year, so we really wanted to have it and make it special,” said Houston.
While the end of the pier remains closed due to damage from the fire in April, 80% of it is currently open to the public.

Swimming 510km Non-stop | Official World Record (Yukon River) | Ross Edgley
How far can a human swim non-stop? No sleep, no rest and no touching land. On June 16, 2024, we wanted to find out and embarked on a 510km (317 mile) non-stop swim down the Yukon River (Canada) in water temperatures as low as 8°C (46.4°F). Now ratified as an Official Guinness World Record, the entire adventure was only made possible by the heroics of the team who protected me from bears, wolves and hypothermia and navigated me through rapids, currents and log jams. One of the greatest crews ever assembled, I hope you enjoy this documentary that was 100% directed, filmed AND edited entirely by James Perrett who was 1 of these 16 HEROES: Christopher J Morgan, Ger Kennedy and Thomas Walter Kofler, Larry Bonnett, Brian Earl, Liam Parfitt, Stan Fordyce, Scott Edgley, Hester Sabery, Dr Tom Hall, Stephen O’Brien, Eric Bonnett, John Robertson, Raymond Kmyta, Shannon Kmyta and Sherrie Earl.
