Swim From Maui to Kauai in 2024
Swimmers are invited to test their mettle by joining the 2024 Lap Challenge to discover whether they can swim the distance from Maui to Kauai.
The total distance, 224 miles (7,840 laps/15,680 lengths), is cumulative over the course of the year. Chart your distance in lengths or laps, using the same measurement each swim session (35 laps/70 lengths are equal to 1 mile), and check in with the pool attendant each session to log your progress.
The challenge is open to all residents, runs now through December 23, 2024, and can be done at lap pools 2 and 5 only.
