Swimming to Madeline Island has been a storied feat around the Bayfield area for decades. Starting as a community swim for 24 people in 2006, the Point to La Pointe Swim has grown into a thriving race that sells out annually at 550 swimmers. We will be returning the swim to finish on Madeline Island in 2022, after COVID-19 forced us to change our route last year. As a participant, you'll enjoy this particular section of Lake Superior, which provides great views of the scenic landscape. This event is registered with and approved by the US Coast Guard.
