2026 Women Swimmin' & Go the Distance for Hospicare

Training Information

Let the training begin!  Get into the lake as often as you can before August 8th. Not only will you improve your lake-swimming skills, but the hours you put in now will make you calm and collected on Swim Day. But, training in a pool is also important, especially when the lake is too cold. Remember though, pool swimming and lake swimming are very different, and nothing beats training in the lake. 

Note: All places listed require a membership, pass, or daily entrance fee. For schedules and pricing information, please view the websites provided.

Don't forget to check out the Lake Swim Clinics (stay-tuned for a link once scheduled.)
