A true life experience and bucket list opportunity. If you are a swimmer it should give you goosebumps just thinking about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Global Swim Series has created the Race The Legends event so that swimmers from around the world can actually swim with Legends, past and present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And in case that wasn&#8217;t enough, several of the Legends will also be hosting small, multi-day &#8220;Legends Swim Camps&#8221; in the week prior to the race, where you will be coached by, and get to hang out with, the hero&#8217;s of the sport. Campers will even get a chance to meet all the Legends from the other Camps in the VIP section after the Race.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CEO &amp; Founder of the Global Swim Series, <\/span><b>Robert Kent<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said: \u201cWe are very excited to kick off our 8th season of the Global Swim Series with a new and exciting event of this magnitude. There has never really been anything quite like this in swimming, where we have all these Legendary swimmers, each with an incredible story, all gathered in one place&#8230; to race against enthusiastic swimmers of all ages and abilities. Not to mention the added bonus of being able to participate in a week long training camp that will be coached by the Legends. We think that this will be one of the most unique swimming events ever offered. It will be something for swimmers to get excited about, inspired by, and motivated from.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The event is designed to be very inclusive of ages and abilities. The distances offered will be: 5K, 1 Mile, and a kids distance of a Half Mile\/800m and even the Double Legend (5K AND 1 Mile). The ages will be 10-15 years old for the kids race, and 11-80+ for The Mile and 5K events. The races and camps will appeal to all kinds of swimmers including:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age Group Swimmers, Masters Swimmer, and Triathletes too. Given the reach of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global Swim Series and the interest there is to meet, train and race the Legends of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sport, it is expected that people will travel from around the world to beautiful Fort <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lauderdale this summer for this unique experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Registration for the Race and Camps are now open!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more info and to Register, go to: <a href=\"https:\/\/globalswimseries.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GlobalSwimSeries.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Race The Legends<\/strong> &#8211; open water race against the Legends<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/globalswimseries.com\/legends-swim-camps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Legends Swim Camps<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; 6 day training camps with the Legends<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>(limited spots available for both events)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ABOUT THE GSS: The Global Swim Series was founded in 2015 and has become the largest swim series in the world.

Going forward the primary focus will be on producing the Race The Legends events to create some of the most unique, exciting and memorable events and experiences in swimming.
