The OW season kicks off with swims at the King/Benson Preserve also know as the Undiscovered Country (UDC) and then migrates south to Roger Wheeler State Beach or Salty Brine State Beach and then over to Narragansett Town Beach where most of the swims are usually held.
Locations are changed due to conditions present and the best conditions are selected to allow all levels of abilities to swim in a group setting.
