Every August, the folks in Sandpoint ID host a Long Bridge Swim. This event is a fundraiser for swim lesson iniative in town. The bridge runs across Lake Pend Orielle next the US Rt. 95 bridge. In 2024, there were 700 swimmers participating. Onlookers can stand on the bridge and walk along as the swimmers make their way 1.76 miles across. This photo was taken as the race began and the first swimmers were heading out.
