Swimmers of all ages and skill levels are invited to take part in the 7th annual Open Water Event, held on beautiful Alpine Lake. “Angel Swimmers” to accompany less experienced swimmers are available on request the day of the event. Olympic Gold Medalist Ryan Held will be among the guests of honor.
