No, really. 150 people are jumping in the Inner Harbor in June.
People really want to jump into Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to swim. That much became clear after registration for “Harbor Splash” filled up 10 minutes after opening.
The 150 spots that were taken Wednesday prompted The Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore to offer a waitlist sign up for the public swim on June 23 at a floating dock at the Bond Street Wharf.
Waitlist spots may become available — but they are not guaranteed.
Adam Lindquist, vice president at Waterfront Partnership, said this type of demand to swim in the harbor transcends the late June event and could open the waterways up for more recreational opportunities.
“With Harbor Splash selling out in ten minutes, it’s clear there is a real demand for more water recreation opportunities in the Baltimore Harbor. Everyone deserves to be able to swim and paddle in clean and healthy public waterways,” he wrote in a statement.
