THE GLEN LAKE SWIM: THE SEARCH FOR GLENNIE is a one mile, USMS-sanctioned, professionally-timed open water swim race in scenic Glen Lake in Goffstown, NH. The swim is scheduled for Sunday August 12th, 2018.

Glennie is a descendent of a creature that Native Americans of the region referred to as "Gtaskog" and the swim will pay homage to the legend. The event is being held to raise funds to support local outdoor recreational activities and to promote aquatic safety.

Course Information:

The start is in the water offshore of the Goffstown Recreation Center. Thefre will be three waves. The course is somewhat triangular in shape. Swimmers will head east roughly following the shore line, always keeping the course marker buoys to the left. At the powerlines, swimmers will turn 90˚ at the buoy and head north to the next buoy and then turn 90˚ left again for a straight-line return to the start. At the final buoy turn left 90˚ and exit the water crossing the timing sensor. Safety Kayaks will monitor swimmers from the interior of the triangle, and outside of the return leg.
