The month of October is MILES OF MADNESS!
The goal of Miles of Madness is to swim a minimum of 25 miles throughout the month of October.
There are sign-ups at the pool deck in a box that sits next to the NOVA swim office.

At the end of the month if you have completed a minimum of 25 miles you will receive a special prize!
