The challenge is named in honour of Margaret Sweeny, who represented New Zealand in breaststroke the 1950 British Empire Games and who was the first person to swim the length of Lake Taupō. Ms Sweeney made the crossing from south to north in 1955 in a time of 13 hours and 39 mins. Entrants in the Margaret Sweeney Challenge must swim 25 or 50 kilometres over a three-month period, with those who finish the former distance receiving a certificate and those doing the 50km distance being awarded a medal. Entrants can choose how much and how often they want to swim, in order to compete the distance they choose, so the Challenge is suitable for all fitness levels and schedules.
