2023 Swim.com USMS Fall Fitness Challenge

No tricks here, only treats for the 2023 Fall Fitness Challenge! It is a 1-mile swim that takes place between October 1-31, and is the third event in the Swim.com USMS Fitness Series.

Whether you're just getting into swimming, starting back into it after a break from the pool, pushing to see how fast you can go, or just wanting to donate to USMS Adult Learn-to-Swim grants supported by the USA Swimming Foundation, the Fall Fitness Challenge is the perfect event for you to finish the year strong. The Fall Fitness Challenge can be done in any manner desired: straight through, as a member of a relay, or even with fins.

If you need help preparing for this swim, we have six-week training plans for all types of swimmers.
