The Mighty Mac Swim is an epic annual race across the Straits of Mackinac between Michigan’s peninsulas, alongside the iconic Mackinac Bridge, which is both challenging and awe-inspiring.

As members of both the Global Swim Series (GSS) and the World Open Water Swimming Series (WOWSS) for a second year, the Mighty Mac Swim has been placed prominently on the world stage.

Named the “Michigan Open Water Championship,” the Mighty Mac Swim supports the good works of Habitat for Humanity, by funding building projects for heroes … Military Veterans and First Responders.

This is not your average race.  If you swim the ‘Mighty Mac,’ you will be considered a hero!  Yes, there will be awesome and unique trophies and medals, … but providing ‘homes for heroes’ will prove to be the greatest reward … and make you a hero also!finish-line-unity

In order to get into this very exclusive race (capped at 84 swimmers) you must help by first meeting the fundraising requirement of $3,000 USD and meet the swimming qualifications.  Fortunately, the organization provides you with all you need to do your fundraising, right on the website.  The top fundraiser will also be awarded a week-long luxury vacation!  

Your fundraising will put a well-deserving Military Veteran or First Responder hero in a new Habitat for Humanity home!  You may even volunteer to help with the build if you desire.

Imagine what it will be like to swim ashore and see first-hand the home that your fundraising dollars helped build.  Yes, the framed home will be assembled right there at the finish line!  Now, imagine meeting the hero and his/her family and exchanging congratulations and words of gratitude.  Your memories of this tremendous experience will last forever!

The race itself is across the straits, which separates Lake Michigan from Lake Huron, can be cold with tough currents, but your heroic athletic and fundraising efforts should help keep you warm inside.hfhm-website-page
