Description
December 10-11, 2022 you are invited to spend 24 hours testing your mettle with us in Islamorada Florida! Swim one mile each hour on the hour for 24 hours. Our beautiful OUTDOOR pool will be set up in Long Course Meters (LCM) and a mile is 1600 LCM. Restrooms and locker rooms will be available throughout our event, and we have ample space for each swimmer or team to set up a "camp" on the grass or pool deck. Brunch (included for registered swimmers) will be at the pool on Sunday directly after the end of the event.
This is a significant mental and physical challenge, for which swimmers must be properly trained.
Space is limited for this event, since we will not have swimmers circle-swim. We will have slots for individuals and for teams. Individuals should be properly trained for an event of this magnitude! The team option is fantastic for those who wish to split the 24 miles. Please see the SOLO or TEAM "at Founders" to join. Once the slots are full, registrations will not be accepted. Interested swimmer can email keys2swimming@gmail.com to be placed on a waitlist. After December 1, SOLO entries will not be accepted without proof of consistent and appropriate training.

Cancellations/Refunds
We understand that things happen which make swimming impossible on a given day, but given that you are reserving half of a lane when you register (and there are limited spaces) we can not offer refunds for any reason. Your donation to the non-profit Save Alligator Lighthouse will be much appreciated and celebrated.
The weather in Florida can be a factor sometimes, and we can not guarantee a storm-free 24 hours (although December is pretty good, historically). We will clear the pool if weather deteriorates, but will plan to resume the swim once the all-clear is given.
