The Clock Is Ticking Seven-Mile Swim (TCT7) is a multi-race charity swim in Georgia in support of the James David Eunice Charity Fund.
Named after the inspirational life of young James Eunice, the mission of the TCT7 is to offer a sporting event that inspires people to live wholesome lives, to reach their potential, and keep James’s legacy alive. John Eunice, race director, explains, “Our vision is to provide an event that attracts out-of-state swimmers and local families to partake in endurance competitions, food, hospitality, and fun. Our goal goes far beyond athletics.”
The events held in Long Pond in Lake Park, Georgia include a 1-mile, 2.4-mile, 3.5-mile, and 7-mile swims, both with and without fins.
