Description
Swim Neshonoc June 23,2024
West Salem, Wisconsin
1.2 mile and 2.4 mile swim
It's an open water swimming event across the picturesque Lake Neshonoc in West Salem Wisconsin. Choose your distance - and enjoy a beautiful morning swim through this 606 acre lake located in La Crosse County. The 2.4 mile swim starts at Swarthout Park beach and is out and back. The 1.2 mile swim will start at the South Boat Ramp at the other end of the lake. There will be a bus at Swarthout Park to transport 1.2 mile swimmers to their start location. Both distances finish at the Swarthout Park Beach.
There will be a wetsuit and a non wetsuit division for each distance. The cut off time for the 1.2 mile swim is 1:10 and for the 2.4 mile swim 2:20. Open water swim buoys are allowed and recommended. Please do not use a yellow swim buoy as our sighting buoys are all yellow. We'll have some extra swim buoys if you need to borrow one. Registration includes a swim cap, an event t-shirt, timed results, finisher medal, food and drink, first place age group awards and overall awards for each distance. The swim will be supported by lifeguards, the La Crosse Dive Unit and kayakers.
Packet pick up is 6:00am on race day with a mandatory meeting at 6:45am. No swimmers under the age of 18 are allowed. We've added an additional packet pick up Saturday June 22 from 4:00-6:00 at the Swarthout Park shelter.
By signing up for the swim you will also be showing support for a very worthy cause: The all volunteer La Crosse Dive Unit whose functions are but not limited to Swift Water/Flood Rescue, Ice Rescue, Underwater Rescue and recovery & Vessel security services. The Dive Unit will be supporting this swim event. We cannot guarantee a t-shirt size if you sign up after June 11.
