The Coast Guard, part of the Department of Homeland Security, will enforce specific local regulations for the Low Country Splash event in Charleston and Mt. Pleasant, SC, on May 24, 2025, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. These regulations ensure safety on navigable waterways, prohibiting any unauthorized entry, transit, or anchoring within the regulated area. Spectator vessels can safely pass outside the regulated zone but must avoid interfering with the event or official vessels. Notices about this enforcement will be disseminated through multiple channels, including Local Notices to Mariners and Marine Safety Information Bulletins.
Simple Explanation
The Coast Guard is making sure everyone stays safe during a swim event in South Carolina by blocking off a part of the water on May 24, 2025, so only special boats can go there. People on boats can still go around the blocked area, but they have to be careful not to get in the way of the event.
