June 20 Millerton Lake 1-mile or 2 Mile - Deck entries now allowed.


Held at Millerton Lake, 15 miles northeast of Fresno.  The swim is the day after a long course meet in Clovis.  Millerton Lake was created by construction of the Friant Dam across the San Joaquin River in 1944. For history buffs, the original Millerton County Courthouse, built in 1867 is at the swim site. A little more historical lore -- the lake now covers Camp Barbour, a military encampment from the 1850’s. You can swim either the one or the two  mile event. You can deck enter (beach enter?) the meet.
