Can’t travel to VT Football games? Why not swim!

Each week participants will attempt to swim the total swim time listed for the week. If they achieve the goal they will get a win for the week and if they don’t they will get a loss. Everyone that finishes with an undefeated season or the participants with the best record at the end of the season will all receive a prize. The week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday and time will be tracked through a google form submitted by participants at the end of each swim.

Swim the States: Spring 2024

With college football in the offseason in the spring, this swim the states program takes the swimmers on a tour of some of the premiere college football stadiums and college towns in the US. Following the similar schedule to 2023’s Swim the states, each participant must swim “to a checkpoint” by each selected day as represented by a US college town until they reach the Rose Bowl stadium in Los Angeles, California on the final day of classes. There are roughly two weeks in between each checkpoint, so they must swim the number of miles it takes to get to the checkpoint. The program would run from the day before the start of classes (January 16) to reading day (May 4).

The goal of the program is to make it to Los Angeles on time for the end of the school year.
