Live Wildly Team Challenge – Open Water Swim Edition
Saturday, October 24th, 2026

Join us for the 5th Annual Live Wildly Team Challenge, an exhilarating open-water swim event in celebration of World Swim Day! This year, we’re bringing back an innovative and team-focused competition that combines strategy, endurance, and camaraderie in the beautiful waters of Florida.

Presented by Live Wildly, this event supports a vital cause: the protection of the Florida Wildlife Corridor. Stretching from the Panhandle to the Everglades, this 18-million-acre expanse is the ecological and economic heart of Florida. Live Wildly was founded to safeguard this irreplaceable landscape—and by participating, you’re helping preserve the Sunshine State’s natural legacy.

The Challenge: Team Relay (4 Miles Total)
Course: A thrilling ¼-mile loop in open water.
Team Structure: Teams of 3 to 8 swimmers—strategize, collaborate, and push your limits together!
Rules:

Each swimmer completes one loop at a time, tagging the next teammate in rotation.
No consecutive loops by the same swimmer—strategy is key!
No swimmer may exceed 3 total loops—every teammate must contribute.
Order is up to you—pace, endurance, and tactics will determine your success!

This is more than a swim; it’s a test of teamwork, pacing, and perseverance. Whether you’re racing for the podium or simply soaking in the fun, the Live Wildly Team Challenge promises an unforgettable experience.

Solo Endurance Option
Prefer to go it alone? Take on the individual challenge:

Swim the loop, exit the water each time, and run around shoreline flags before diving back in.

Discipline, stamina, and mental toughness will be your greatest allies.

Support Florida’s Wildlife Corridor—every splash makes a difference.
Challenge yourself in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
