Swim the Mississippi Winter Lap Swim Challenge
November 2025 - March 2026
Please join our third annual winter lap swim challenge! No additional fee is required to participate. All you need to do is check in with the lifeguard after you swim to record your yards. Yard totals will be added weekly and updated on the map. Prizes will be awarded at designated checkpoints along the way with monthly drawings for additional prizes. Certificates and prizes will be available at the front desk. Every day you log your yards, your name will be entered for the monthly drawings. Each checkpoint reached equals an additional entry for the monthly drawings.
If you are interested in a lap swim membership, please reach out to our Membership Coordinator Micah Winningham at winni054@morris.umn.edu or 320-589-6483

Group Progress Updates
Thank you to everyone who has already started logging yards for the lap swim challenge! As of February 1st, we have 18 participants who have swum a combined total of 376,475 yards, or approximately 213.91 miles. We have officially surpassed the total from last year, and we still have two months left of the challenge! Please check our updated pool schedule to see when you can log your next swim.
The number of participants is continuing to grow, thank you to everyone who has joined the challenge so far! We had 14 swimmers who logged yards in January, and the group progress is almost to checkpoint 23! Make sure to stop by the front desk for your prizes. Any certificates will be in the binder with the lifeguard.
