Our water safety includes an inner perimeter of kayakers, with an outer perimeter of motorboats manned by volunteers, Hague Volunteer Fire Department, and usually the Lake George Park Commission and other government entities either on site or on call.
Divisions
There will be non-wetsuit and wetsuit categories.

Please submit evidence of having completed a swim of 2/3rds the distance of your chosen event (applies to 5k and 10k. Evidence may be submitted when you register and should include the date, venue, distance and time it took you to complete your swim. These swims should be in open water and they may happen in or out of competition. If you have extensive training experience in pools and some open water swim experience that will suffice as evidence. The key is to ensure you will be able to complete your distance comfortably and within the cut-off.
