About 12-15 places left for 10-milers.
And a truly long swim, whole length of the lake, also upcoming this summer. Swim to Canada!

I thought the 10 mile was full? It says they only take 75 for each course and there are more than 75 registered.

Those numbers proved mobile. From the website:
Registration for each distance in 2012 is now open. Each course is limited to the first 100 participants who are registered and paid. These limits have been set to assure that we can adequately support each swimmer who makes the commitment to join the swim.
I vaguely recall the meet director sending out an email to the effect that he would carry on to the 100-person mark as long as he could find kayakers to cover.
And I'm pretty sure some of the 10-mile swimmers will drop out.
But do feel free to check in with the meet director, Phil White, at the website.

Edited to add: I've just received confirmation from the meet director that the cap has been raised to 100.
Susan, this would be the perfect tune-up for Nubble! Come join us :D
That would make 3 weeks in a row of races if I sign up for Peaks though. Not sure I can swing it.
Getting on the plane in 23 days for this swim!
Lake Michigan, the training ground, is holding nicely at about 61 degrees. :)
Anyone else choosing the lucky swimsuit, putting extra sunscreen in the kit, and otherwise gearing up for a splendid big community swim?

I have a snazzy new suit, matching team tee, and extra sunblock. See you soon! :woot:
