La Ventana - Baja Swim Series

The rhythm of your stroke is dictated by the constant breeze moving across the water, a hallmark of this stretch of the Gulf of California. Beneath you, the seabed shifts from vibrant coral patches to sandy expanses, occasionally punctuated by the curious presence of pufferfish. These small inhabitants of the bay often drift alongside swimmers, their steady, calm movement contrasting with the dynamic energy of the surface. You are navigating the coastal waters of La Ventana, a bay defined by its persistent winds and deep turquoise hues that stretch toward the horizon.

Race day logistics

The La Ventana edition of the Baja Swim Series takes place on March 14, 2026, offering a range of distances from a 500-meter introductory swim up to a 10,000-meter marathon. The event base is set at the ChiloChill Glamping Resort, which serves as the hub for all start and finish activities. Participants are expected to register between January 1 and March 10, though the event closes earlier if the participation limit is reached. The course is designed for those comfortable in open sea conditions, drawing swimmers who seek the specific challenge of the Baja California Sur environment. By staying within the protected bay, the event minimizes the exposure to open-ocean swells while still providing a technical, wind-influenced swimming experience typical of this coastal region.
