Details

This is a hard core swim. Distance is great enough that you can not see from point to point. Kayak escort is mandatory for this event. You must have a kayak and paddler with you. Kayaks are provided for those who can not provide their own. Up to 8 boats. Course is marked by a series of bouys as far as they go because lake depth is 130 feet at deepest. Safety is monitored by Lake Patrol and Lake Fire Rescue and DNR management. 1 PWC boat, Two Patrol Craft, One Fire Rescue Boat: all follow the spread of swimmers and paddlers. Serious consideration for swimmers on this course is that they are fit. Endure a long swim with lots of potential chop, as well as wind and needing to account for serious wind drift on the course.
