In December 2015, Beaver Island Forum members discussed creating an open-water swim on the island, potentially including shorter courses for children and a course between the public beach and the lighthouse. The discussion was inspired by events elsewhere in northern Michigan.
This record documents an idea and community interest only. It does not establish that a swim was organized or held.
