The Tickle Swim Postponed

Aug 14, 2025

The Tickle Swim Committee has made the difficult decision to postpone this year’s Tickle Swim originally scheduled for August 16 due to current wildfire conditions. The safety and well-being of our swimmers, paddlers, and volunteers will always come first.

We’re now working toward a new tentative date of September 6 and will provide updates as we monitor the situation. Thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support of the Tickle Swim for Mental Health. We look forward to coming together when it’s safe for all.
