Thanks for your interest in a Santa Barbara Channel relay swim. We looking forward to working with you.
This application should be completed only once per relay, by the relay team leader.
The team leader must be 18 years or older. Relay swimmers can be younger than 18, but the team leader (who may or may not also be swimming) must be 18+.
All team members (including the team leader, if the team leader is also swimming) should also complete the Relay Member Application.

The Swim
Please notify the SBCSA as soon as you have
made arrangements with an escort boat.
If your escort boat is unknown to the SBCSA, we will require additional details
on the boat's size, type, and amenities, to determine if it is suitable for piloting
a channel swim. The boat must have a current USCG Vessel Safety inspection report.
If your pilot is unknown to the SBCSA, we will require additional details on
their credentials, such as a USCG charter boat captain's license.
After your application is processed, an SBCSA representative
will reach out to you about this.
When is your swim scheduled?
Permission to publicize?
The SBCSA publishes a list of upcoming swim attempts at the
beginning of each season. Do we have your permission to
publicize your attempt, or do you prefer to keep it private?

Next Steps
Now that the Team Leader app is completed, we need individual Team Member applications from each relay member who will be swimming, and from any alternates.
If you (the Team Leader) will be swimming, you also need to complete a Team Member app.
Please provide your team members the link to the Team Member app - sbcsa.us/relay-member.
They will need to enter the Team Name to identify themselves as a member of your team. All other requested information is specific to the individual.
The Relay Application is considered complete when all Team Member apps have been received.
