Lighthouse Loop

Lighthouse Loop is an open water swim in Lake Michigan, by the mouth of the Menominee River. Swimmers can choose to swim one loop (approximately 1.15 miles), or to swim two loops (approximately 2.3 miles) .You will be starting your swim from Red Arrow Park, towards the lighthouse at the mouth of the Menomonee River, and then loop back to our start location at Red Arrow Park. Swimmers are required to wear a wetsuit (or sign a no wetsuit waiver the day of the events),and also a swim buoy for the event is required. Participants must be 14 or older (a parent/ guardian will need to sign an additional waiver for any swimmer under the age of 18. We will be in contact in regards to this).

8 a.m. the 2.3 mile swim will start with the 1st heat launched, with subsequent heats launched every 15 minutes. The 1.15 milers will start after the 2.3 mile swimmers are gone. *All times are subject to change based on the weather/ conditions of the day.
