STAR AquaCenter

Congratulations and a big thank you to everyone who participated in our inaugural STAR AquaCenter Summer Splash! ⭐️🌊 Hamptons Scooby (swipe👉) did not participate in the swim, but was cheering everyone on from his pool on Noyack Road! 🐶

What a beautiful morning we had! Perfect conditions, great turnout and fantastic energy all around. There’s nothing as inspiring as gathering community supporters together, seeing the joy that swimming brings, and hearing what the STAR AquaCenter would mean to each of you. It’s what keeps us pushing forward after the beaches close for the season! ✨

A very special thanks to Southampton Village Ocean Rescue for keeping everyone safe in the water and for helping us with the planning of our first ever open water swim. And if you’re looking for more swimming… Register for SVOR’s S-Mile Swim at this Saturday (8/17) and support this incredible volunteer organization who keeps SH Village safe by responding to ocean and bay emergencies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 🛟 events.elitefeats.com/24smile

Thank you to our event sponsors Stop & Shop & Hampton Coffee Company for keeping everyone hydrated, caffeinated, and snacking, and to Flying Point Surf and Skate and Gubbins Running Ahead for providing our winners with awesome prizes! 🏅🏆
