Queens Bay Lake Monsters Open Water

The Queens Bay Swim Returns – August 3rd

A Fundraiser for the Flathead Lake Monsters Swim Team

Queens Bay, near Polson, MT 🌊

The Challenge: Test yourself on one of Montana’s most scenic open water courses — returning for a third year!

• 10K Swim – 8:00 AM Start
• 5K Swim – 8:00 AM Start
• 1-Mile Swim – 12:00 PM Start
• 500-Yard Kids’ Fun Swim – 11:00 AM Start (Same course layout as 2023, starting and finishing at Chuck Dixon 4H park.)

Entry Fee: $20 (+runsignup processing fee ~2$). Swimmers are encouraged to swim multiple times throughout the day. You will have time to complete your 5k or 10k and still compete in the mile. Entry fee covers both races! Same day registration will be accepted with a cash or check donation to the team equal to (or greater than) the race fee.

Donations: We encourage donations of $40 or more to Flathead Lake Monsters swim team. The top donor will be recognized as our “Community Champion” — and walk away with a special prize and serious bragging rights!

Why It Matters: This event isn’t just about swimming. It’s about lifting up the next generation of athletes in our community. The Flathead Lake Monsters are a youth swim team powered by dedication, passion, and the generosity of people like you. Every dollar raised goes toward helping these swimmers grow in and out of the pool. Let’s show what this community can do when we rally together.

Support Needed! We’re looking for: Kayakers and paddleboarders for 5K & 10K race support, One volunteer boat (optional but helpful), General volunteers to cheer, time, and keep things running smoothly!
