Looking for a fun challenge this summer? Try the Summer Fitness Challenge, a 2K swim or dryland workout that takes place between June 1-15. This is the second event in the Swim.com USMS Fitness Series.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many swimmers have had an extended break from the water. For those who now have access to swim safely, we hope this event provides motivation and a fun way to check your fitness level while supporting a great cause. The net proceeds go to USMS Adult Learn-to-Swim grants supported by the USA Swimming Foundation.
The Summer Fitness Challenge can be done in any manner desired: in a pool or open water, 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.
Swimmers who cannot swim safely are encouraged to participate in a dryland workout. Visit our COVID-19 resource page for more information, articles, and workout suggestions.

Swimmers can upload swims or workouts using a compatible device (Garmin, Apple Watch, etc.), or they can be manually uploaded, so don’t worry if you don’t have a smartwatch!
