HOLLAND, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – A West Michigan man is seeking to become the ninth person to ever swim across Lake Michigan.
Holland native Bryan Huffman is training at the Holland Aquatic Center for the swim from the Rawley Point Lighthouse near Manitowoc, Wisconsin to the Big Sable Point Lighthouse north of Ludington. It’s a 60-mile trip for Huffman, who last year swam the 37-mile English Channel between France and England.

Huffman said he’s swimming for the Holland Aquatic Center and making swimming lessons affordable for anyone at the HAC. His original goal was to raise $12,000, but he is hoping to raise more after hearing about a previous endeavor by Vicki Keith, a Canadian swimmer who raised over $500,000 for her community’s swim lesson program.
