If you’re looking for a fun, new fitness challenge and think you have what it takes, join the 50 Mile Swim Club. Reach your fitness goals, or just challenge your friends to a race against the calendar. Sign up and track your laps in the pool as you compete in this base-wide, yearlong race. Trophies will be awarded to the first three finishers. All of the finishers will take home congratulatory T-shirts and bragging rights. If you can swim farther than anyone else on base, hit that 50 and keep on swimming. Additional trophies will be awarded to the three competitors who swim the farthest over the course of 2020. Sign up now at the Outdoor Recreation Center.
