Description of the Challenge:
It is time to show off your achievements in swimming in 2024! This year's challenge celebrates our great state by showcasing our three largest islands.
The top level will be the Isle Royale Achiever Level, Michigan's largest island situated in the chilly waters of Lake Superior.
The second level will be the Drummond Island Achiever Level, Michigan's second largest island located next to the Canadian border in Lake Huron.
The third level will be the Beaver Island Achiever Level, Michigan's third largest island located in Lake Michigan
Details below:
Open to all yearly members; must be a member when swimming this distance as well
Honor system
It doesn't have to be an organized swim practice, swim it anywhere (indoor, outdoor, during a triathlon race); just add up your distance in yards (don't forget to convert meter swims)
You may count any yardage swam since January 1st
Limited number of caps for each level so submit as soon as you finish the distance
Earn all three caps for a complete collection
Caps will be presented to you in person or mailed to you no matter where you live which makes it a great program for those living out of state
Hint: If you use Strava it tracks your yearly distances which is great if you use the autoload feature
