Bermuda, also referred to in legal documents as the Bermudas or Somers Isles, is a British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean, located off the east coast of the United States. Its nearest landmass is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, about 1,030 kilometers (640 miles) to the west-northwest.

Bermuda is the site of various open water swimming competitions including the Round the Sound Swimathon.
