99th Annual Goguac Lake Swim 2026

The Goguac Lake Swim is an open-water swim held annually at Willard Beach on Goguac Lake in Battle Creek, Michigan. Now approaching its hundredth running, the event features three distances: a 1.15-mile swim, a 750-meter swim, and a 200-yard course for participants 16 and under. The day begins early at Willard Beach, with packet pickup preceding the first swim. The kids’ race starts before the longer swims. Times are recorded for overall and age-bracket winners, catering to competitive swimmers and those seeking a timed lake swim. Hampton Aquatics presents the event, with proceeds supporting sponsorships for adaptive swimming.
