In this aerial image released by the Florida Keys News Bureau, swimmers escorted by kayakers circle Alligator Reef Lighthouse during the Swim for Alligator Lighthouse open-water challenge on September 9, 2023, off Islamorada, Florida. The 8-mile (13-km) roundtrip race attracted almost 400 swimmers divided into categories including solo and two-, three- and four-person relay teams. The annual event helps raise funds to restore Alligator Reef Lighthouse, one of six aging Florida Keys lighthouses, that are some 150 years old and no longer needed for navigation.
