What: A fundraising pool swim for the whole Triangle area community! Whether you are on a swim team or swim recreationally, join us for a day full of fun, family and swimming!
Pool Swim Format: We are replicating an open water course in an indoor pool! All the lane lines will be pulled out and a buoy will be placed at each corner of the pool. 1 lap will equal 150m.

This really does look like a lot of fun and is a great idea! Are you thinking about expanding this event to other universities? I would love to attend but am nowhere near North Carolina which puts a wrench in the plan..it would be cool if this were brought to national attention so maybe others could join in.
Hey Martel...we do have a virtual option. Somebody else is doing so!
