The Mackinac Bridge Swim is about giving back to the community, supporting each other, and paying it forward. We are raising money through this event to help First Responders here in Michigan. We will be supporting Mackinaw City and St. Ignace Volunteer fire departments this year, and we will be supporting a few other departments.
In 2023 we raised $26,000 with only 106 swimmers. 2024 we raised over $50,000 with 161 swimmers.2025 should be another great year.
We are very thankful for all our volunteers; without them this swim does not happen. So be sure to thank them when you see them.
