Hello folks,
I am beginning to look into setting up, and doing a marathon swim for charity, for next summer, (solo) and I was wondering if anybody here had been through it and had any input. I am planning on getting in touch with coastguards, etc. in order to get whatever permits I need, and finding information on currents, etc. to pick a time that will be ideal for the swim. Beyond these, I'm sure there are many other obstacles that will come up. Any help along the way would be great.
Edit: In case it wasn't clear, I am planning on having the only one swimming to be me.
Thank you!
The current plan is crossing Lake Michigan from New Buffalo, MI to Chicago, IL but this could change based on the currents, tides, etc. I have a lot of research and consultation to do beforehand.
That's a 40+ mile swim. Have you done other swims in this distance range? Or even a 20 mile swim?
