Join us in a challenge of channel swimming without being in the open water! There are 9 main channels in the Hawaiian Islands that equal to a total of 200 miles. Keep track of your swimming mileage in any pool or the ocean and watch your progress on the map! Can you complete all nine channels?

For advanced swimmers, one mile in the pool equals 5 miles in a channel. For beginner swimmers, one mile in the pool equals 10 miles in a channel.
