The 5th annual SwimTrek 60k virtual swim event (@swimtrek) – currently running with 315 teams around the globe throughout November – is now heading into it fourth and final week.

Jack Hudson of SwimTrek reports, “As of this past Monday, we had just 12,921 kilometers left to go to circle the globe. We were 67% of the way around the world, floating somewhere near tropical Vanuatu.

It’s the final push to Ecuador across the South Pacific Ocean. Right now, we imagine we could be crawling close to the Galapagos Islands. We need all your final distances to make landfall, so please share one final update after all your swims are done this weekend (Sunday at the latest) – the event will end after November 30th in whatever time zone you reside in. 

Input your total distance for the whole team here (in kilometers): https://swimtheworld.paperform.co/

After three weeks, the full update on Swim The World is posted here.
