Swim for a Cause

The Swim for Freedom is a challenging and rewarding 5k swim from Williams Bay to Fontana, WI. Participants will navigate the stunning waters of Lake Geneva, pushing their limits and raising funds for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. This organization provides full college educations to the surviving children of special operations personnel killed in combat or training and offers immediate financial assistance to special operations personnel severely wounded in combat.

Why Participate?

  • Support Our Heroes: Your participation and donations will directly impact the lives of special operations personnel and their families. Every stroke you take helps provide education and financial support to those who have sacrificed so much for our country.
  • Beautiful Scenery: Enjoy the picturesque views of Lake Geneva as you swim from Williams Bay to Fontana. It's a unique opportunity to experience the lake like never before.
  • Community Spirit: Join a passionate community of swimmers, supporters, and volunteers all coming together for a common cause. The camaraderie and support you'll experience are unmatched.

Post-Swim Celebration

After the swim, we'll gather at Gordy's Lakefront for a well-deserved cookout. Enjoy delicious food, refreshing drinks, and great company as we celebrate the achievements of our swimmers and the generosity of our supporters. It's the perfect way to wrap up a day of fitness and philanthropy.
