 Black Friday ChallengeBlack Friday is not for the faint of heart. It often requires pushing through a crowd to get to the sale rack, high levels of endurance to speed walk through the mall, and motivation to stick it out until the last gift has been purchased.

Each year SLAM hosts a day-after-Thanksgiving swimming event that challenges even the toughest of Masters swimmers: 100 x 100s.
