The Gulf of Maine Open Water Swimming Association (GoMOWSA) is a nonprofit organization that supports and promotes the sport of open water swimming in southern Maine, New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts. Our aim is to conduct and support formal and informal open water swim sessions, clinics, and other events that benefit current and aspiring swimmers of all ages. We also aim to support swimmers undertaking solo marathon swims in the region. Our activities are conducted year-round in the Gulf of Maine and its tributaries as well as lakes and ponds.
