Community Ed 100 Mile Swim Challenge

SSP Community Ed Aquatics  at Central Square is hosting a 100 mile lap swim challenge at the start of the new year. Beginning in January, participants will record their miles swam on a chart in the Central Square pool area. When a participant reaches 100 miles they will receive a t-shirt and their name (and photo if they wish) on the leaderboard.

Registration to participate is open now and the challenge will begin January 1, 2024. The cost to register is $10, and participants must complete their laps during open swim time. Swim aids such as snorkels, fins, paddles, pull buoys, and kickboards are acceptable to use.
