“Get Under It” and join the hundreds of others in what’s become the premiere swim event in the Lowcountry. NET.COM Broadband Services is proud to announce the 7th annual Lowcountry Splash - Open Water Swim.

This 2.4 mile-open water swim will take place on Saturday, May 31 in the Charleston Harbor.  The start time is 8 a.m. at Hobcaw Yacht Club, passing under the New Ravenel Bridge, along the shoreline of the Yorktown Aircraft Carrier and finishing at (Marina)  at Patriot’s Point.

The Splash has become South Carolina's premiere open water swimming event, formerly voted as winner of the Charleston Metro Sports Council Sporting Achievements. Hundreds of men, women and children come from all over the country to participate in this open water swim competition. Swimmers of all levels, age 12 years and older are invited to participate. There is also the Dash and Splash, a competition in the Over-Under Challenge for the best-combined time between the Bridge Run and the Lowcountry Splash.

Proceeds from the Lowcountry Splash benefit the Logan Rutledge Children’s Foundation, a nonprofit organization. The foundation was established in the loving memory of Logan Jennings Rutledge who was born July 30, 2001 at the Medical University of South Carolina. Logan weighed just lb, 12 oz., and after a courageous battle, died on August 26, 2001. The foundation has raised over $30,000 over the years for programs that promote health and welfare of children at MUSC’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and benefits other various children’s charities.
