Description
A Long Swim is a series of open water swimming events benefiting ALS research (Lou Gehrig's Disease). Lead by English Channel Swimmer, Doug McConnell, these swims are designed for triathletes and open water swimmers and are professionally timed. Each swimmer has an opportunity to fundraise and earn a package to waive their registration fee and earn triathlon and open water swimming gear, including wet suits, on course goggles and transition bags.
Lake Zurich is a private residential lake that is 2.5 mikles in circumference and with pristine water. The course is mapped out and professional times for distances of 15,000 meters, 1.2 miles and 2.4 miles. This open water swim is a sanctioned by the Lake Zurich Park District and the Village of Lake Zurich. This is the perfect opportunity for triathletes and open water swimmers to gauge their training under race conditions.
