Experience Open Water

Our Events

A great way to participate in our efforts to create a community of supporters. Our regional events are always aligned with national events that support and honor our First Responders and Veterans.

Wild Buffalo Relay

Our inaugural Spouses Adventure Paddle will take place on April 6, 2025 from Avalon Harbor on Catalina Island to the Newport Aquatic Center. Our team of women will be the first to cross the channel in our new OpenWater canoe. 

Memorial Day Paddle Race

NAC x OpenWater have come together to support the health and wellness of every first responder, veteran, active military, and their families.

Join us Sunday, May 25, 2025 for this year’s event.
