Below I have listed the information I have regarding places to swim in Michigan - I KNOW that many of the contact's names and phone numbers are probably out-of-date - and I KNOW that we have probably left out a couple of groups.

If I have the wrong contact information listed for your group - please email me and let me know so I can correct it.  Also let me know if we have left your group out - a "group" being a regular group of people who swim together in organized workouts that has a contact person that I can list so that swimmers who are looking for a "group" in your area could swim with you...
