I don't think this has been done before, if it has, could you please kindly point me in the right direction.

I am just about to complete the 24hrs in August challenge, which I've loved. It has really spurred me on to get more active, so I thought this might be a nice new challenge for September.

The rules are simple... You must get wet. Whether that is swimming in a pool, or in a lake, doing aquacise, even scuba diving, surfing, or wind surfing. It doesn't matter as long as you get wet. :)

I think because this challenge can cover many different water activities time is really the only measure we can all use, and because this is the first month we'll be doing this I think a realistic goal to start us off with would be 12 hrs. That's only 3 hrs a week. We can adjust it for October if this challenge is successful and lots of you sign up. :)

So who wants to join me:

I will get wet for 12 hrs in September.

    Good luck on this one. If it was July or August I would join, but living in the northeast we'll be closing up the pool shortly - very sad. Swimming is such a great way to not stress joints and great way to burn wicked calories! For July/August I averaged 45 mins at least 3 or 4 times a week, swimming 1/2 mile at a time.

    Again, good luck!

    30 minutes of laps today.


    It was my first day at the y. Tomorrow I will have navigated everything and I won't feel like such a fish out of water. Lol.

    I also found a Lots of laps group I will join. It meets Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

    Oh that sounds like you'll get lots of time in the water :) Great stuff.
    I'm just trying to decide what sort of getting wet I want to do tomorrow.... Either swimming or Aquacise, depending on if I can find enough to keep me busy at work until it starts. :)
