The Kingdom Swim is a multi-race open water swim held in Lake Memphremagog, Vermont. The multi-race charity swim event is held in the state of Vermont and served as the 2013 World Open Water Swimming Association-sanctioned World 10-mile Swimming Championships. It is one of the World's Top 100 Open Water Swims and America's Top 100 Open Water Swims. The event is organized by Phil White of the Northeast Kingdom Open Water Swimming Association. Its victors receive a beautifully hand-carved walking stick crafted by Bill Peck. The swim is held in conjunction with Kingdom Aquafest, including The Frontier Animal Society's Pet, Swimmers & Yackers Parade on Friday evening before the swim.
