LOCATION: This years event will again take place at Rolphs Wharf Marina on the Queen Annes County side of the Chester River, three miles south of Chestertown in Kent County. http://www.rolphswharf.com. This beautiful setting, near a charming small town, is well worth a day trip or a weekend of exploring. For lodging and tourist information, call 410-778-0416, or visit http://www.kentcounty.com.
DIRECTIONS: From the Chesapeake Bay Bridge: Take 50 East to 301 North. 50 East and 301 North separate approximately 9 miles past the Bay Bridge. Stay on 301 by taking the left fork. In approximately 5 miles, take the Route 213 North exit toward Chestertown and Washington College. After 2 miles, you will pass through Centreville. Proceed another 10 miles and turn left onto Rolphs Wharf Road. A Swim for Life banner will mark this turn. Follow Rolphs Wharf Road for 2 miles and a volunteer will direct you for parking. If you plan to drive Saturday morning, it is best to leave early to avoid summer bridge traffic.
