Race Description: Limited to 300 swimmers, including "I'm All That" registrants.

Swimmers will swim to shore following a marked and patrolled course, down the western side of the lake to the seawall ramp near the Village pier with a short land sprint across Clift Park to the finish line near the Village Gazebo. Participants must be 15 years of age as of 12/31/2014.

Important: All swimmers must be in the Park and "chipped" by 7:10 am on race morning. Loading of the Judge Ben Wiles and the buses will commence at 7:15 am. Late arrivals WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to participate.
