For the second time in history, a recorded swim has crossed Lake Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly 22 years after the first swimmer crossed Lake Michigan, Epic Swim 2020, a six-man relay, crossed the 54 miles in nearly 21 hours, the second recorded continuous swim across the Great Lake.<\/p>\n<p>The group of swimmers, led by Orn\u00e9e, of Holland, Michigan, swam a relay across Lake Michigan from Two Rivers, Wisconsin, to Ludington, Michigan. The journey began at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday and finished at 4:10 p.m. Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels like we pulled off a minor miracle,\u201d Orn\u00e9e told <em>Swimming World<\/em>. \u201cIt is pretty surreal. For me personally, I have been dreaming of this exact thing for seven years. I finally was able to recruit five other people crazy enough to do it with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The six swimmers were <strong>Jon Orn\u00e9e, Nick Hobson, Matt Smith, Todd Suttor, Dave Orn\u00e9e<\/strong> and former Ohio State swimmer <strong>Jeremy Sall<\/strong>. They dove in for the first five minutes of the crossing, then swam the final quarter mile to Ludington.<\/p>\n<p>In between, the swimmers did 30-minute legs of the relay, with the next swimmer up diving in to high-five the exiting swimmer.<\/p>\n<p>The direct route across is 51 miles but because of currents, Orn\u00e9e said the swimming distance was around 54 miles.<\/p>\n<p>The group is just the second on record to make the trip across Lake Michigan. The first was <strong>Jim Dreyer<\/strong>, who did it solo in 1998.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/category\/open-water\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">More open water news<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a sense of relief and joy. It took a lot of lives to make this happen.\u00a0I have a great love and respect for Mother Nature,\u201d Orn\u00e9e said. \u201cOnce we started the swim it was pure joy but planning something like this takes so much. We needed boats and captains and medics and film crew. We had to find people to go an entire day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of people followed Epic Swim 2020 along on the live tracker, which the team said was motivating to know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn a team note, it is just a great bunch of guys. I knew a few of them before and we formed a really solid bond as a group,\u201d Hobson said. \u201cIt means a huge amount because a lot of things have to go right. It is about patience and determination.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jon Orn\u00e9e and his \u201cEpic Swim 2020\u201d team have been dreaming about the chance to accomplish a truly rare feat in open water swimming.
