So set your sights on this epic swim event and be part of a very strong swim community. 4.5-mile swim in some amazing waters but come prepared as we do require proof of a 40-minute mile or less in order to participate. Wetsuits and a swim buoy are required as well. Bring your family or friends as the start and "I did it lines" are exciting places to hang out. That evening we will be having an after party at the Mackinaw City Recreational Center.
