Interested in observing Santa Barbara Channel swims?

Observers are the backbone of the SBCSA (and all channel swimming governing bodies). Without them, swims cannot be independently verified.

If you are a marathon swimmer (or have an interest in marathon swimming) and live in Southern or Central California, please consider being a SBCSA observer! It’s an incredibly rewarding way to give back to the sport, to experience the beauty and power of the Pacific Ocean – and get compensated for your time while you’re at it.
