Fair warning: spots go FAST. This swim fills up every year, so don’t snooze on it — grab your spot before someone else does! 🏊‍♂️🔒

Congratulations to the Splash and Dashers! MVM was a force at the Splash and Dash last night! The water was fabulous and the event was super fun. If you missed it, look for upcoming Splash and Dash events. Congrats to Lou Dietz, Dave Finlay, Lani Takano, Courtney Hutchinson, and Mila Abreu. Special congrats to Lou and Lani for their first time participating in an open water swim. Nice job!!!

Happy swimming, MVM
