Eight hours. One pool. Every lap counts.
A finish line built by community.
Finish Strong is V3 Sports’ swim challenge for Give to the Max Day, Minnesota’s statewide celebration of generosity.
On November 19, swimmers fill Genesis Pool and turn endurance into support for V3 Sports’ mission — every lap swum moves the campaign forward.
From first lap to final count.
Three simple stages turn eight hours of swimming into real support for V3 Sports.
