The crossing

Homewood (CA) ↔ Glenbrook (NV): 19.1 km between start and finish coasts. Our archive contains 217 crossings by swimmers from 13 countries.

Distance is the shortest straight line between the start and finish coastal stretches, not the GPS track length: currents cause swimmers to cover much more distance.
