Ah, summer in New England! A time for swimming outside and getting the most we can out of every drop of sunshine. What better time to be recognized for your swims and to support swim lessons for adults?

USMS and Smarty Pants Vitamins are hosting the 2019 Summer Fitness Challenge July 15-31. The challenge is a 2-kilometer swim that can be done in any manner desired: straight through, as a member of a relay, with fins, and even during practice times or open water swims!

Fitness Challenge Rules:       

1. No grumpy pants…

2. Register.

3. Swim!

Event proceeds support the USMS Swimming Saves Lives Foundation, a critical force in providing life-saving swim lessons for adults.

There is even a non-USMS member option so everyone can participate! New England was one of the highest performing LMSCs in the last Fitness Challenge. Let’s show the country we can do it again!

Register online for the Summer Fitness Challenge now through July 31st.
