The Washington's Crossing is a unique swim in our Nation's Capital across the Potomac River beginning at National Harbor, Md to Jones Point, Virginia where Virginia, Maryland and DC intersect. The course is parallel to the Wilson Bridge. Full swim across is 1.25 miles each way or 2.5 miles total round trip. The single crossing is halfway across and back at 1.25 miles total.
