Join us for the Fall PEAKS Swim challenge! NEW this year – PEAKS Classes will be at Eastridge. During each class, swimmers will “climb” one mountain peak. This fall, the challenge takes swimmers toward Idaho Springs - Bear Mountain and Mt Evans, then back towards Highlands Ranch ending with Doublehead Mountain and Pyramid Peak. Fourteen classes and 14 unique “Peak” workouts – no hiking poles needed – just your swimsuit, goggles, and water bottle! All swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards of freestyle and 25 yards of backstroke.

PEAK Class times:  Mondays 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. and Wednesdays 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. at Eastridge Rec Center
Dates*: October 9, 11, 16, 18, 23, 25, 30, and Nov 1, 6, 8, 13, 15, 20, 22

* Registration fee includes all the swim classes – attend as many or as few as best fits your schedule.

• Are you new to lap swimming and want a FUN workout group? PEAKS is for you!
• Is Northridge a little too cold for you? The water at Eastridge is a little warmer for those who are newer to lap swimming.
• Do you need to make some room for the turkey and pumpkin pie this fall? Join PEAKS!
• Each one-hour workout is designed for the very beginning lap swimmer (Level 1), but will be challenging for the more advanced swimmers (Level 2/3).
• Please bring water bottles to workouts. 
• Swim fins are encouraged - hand paddles and snorkels are optional.  Kickboards and pull-buoys are provided.

Every registered swimmer receives a Challenge T-shirt.  After registering, swimmers will get an e-mail with their first workout. Each paid participant receives a challenge tracker form, a Mountain Challenge T-shirt, a masters swim cap, and weekly e-mails to encourage you to swim your best!  Swim independently or by a punch pass to join any HRCA Coached Swim Class to swim additional yardage.

Track your distance from October 2 – December 2, 2023.  A “tracker-board” will be updated weekly at Northridge, so make sure to e-mail [email protected] with your current distance each week.

Prizes will be awarded throughout the challenge.  Most prizes are awarded in the form of Punch Passes to join any of our Coached Aquatics classes.

There will be Prizes for:

• Most Miles Logged
