Aqua Sphere is daring all swimmers to compete in a brand new men vs. women Swim Challenge. Pitching men against women to raise funds and awareness for breast and prostate cancer, the Swim Challenge is set to become the ultimate yardstick for who rules the pool in 2010.
From April 1 until November 30th, swimmers of all abilities are invited to sign on to www.swimchallenge.org each day to log their hours (not their laps) in the water. Whether they like it smooth or rough, on their backs or their stomachs – who will outlast the competition in terms of time spent in the water.
The Swim Challenge website will track the total times via a “leader meter” posted on the website. The site will also allow swimmers to individually track their personal progress in the pool, encouraging them to swim longer each day.
At the end of the Challenge, Aqua Sphere will divide a 25,000 EURO donation between the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The amount allocated to each will be determined by the cumulative hours swum by each gender.
