CAP 2K
Dear Swim Friends,

It is with much regret that we report the 2020 Cap 2k cancelled along with the closure and strict shut-down measures of all parks, pools, venues & gatherings in the City of Austin. Even as we become more hopeful of the physical distancing mandate being lifted, it is obvious that it will not be in time for this year’s Cap 2k.
 
Please know that our family highly respects the “swim under any condition” attitude of most open water swimmers. In fact, we celebrate it every time we join you in the face of environmental challenges — and, that’s been quite a number of times over the last 2 decades of events.  Your enjoyment of the challenge has been a huge factor in our continuing to host our open water events!  Many thanks for this.
 
Many of you who have swum the Cap 2k, Lake Travis Relay, or Highland Lakes Challenge and have done so rain-or-shine, a few times in swift waters, sometimes enduring extremely cold waters or, on rare occasion, in edge-of-hurricane winds, know that our mode is to "find a way.”  We strive to provide challenging (and, thus fun) swimming opportunities for our race participants.  It saddens us greatly and is unfortunate, but this is one challenge we just cannot surmount by event day.
 
We remain optimistic that we all will have a window provided sometime this summer in which we can again happily immerse ourselves in the gentle (or not so gentle sometimes!) flow of the medium we so love — as well as to share the fellowship aquatic endeavors provide.
 
We very much appreciate the support you’ve shown and the words of encouragement as we’ve worked to figure this out. Wishing safety & health to you and your families in this unprecedented time.

Respectfully,
​Sandy Neilson-Bell, Event Coordinator 
Dr. Keith Bell, Event Director
