(WZZM) - The West Michigan couple trying to swim across Lake Michigan is running into some rough waters and changing their course. Jeff and Sarah Tow started their swim Tuesday in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.

They're trying to raise awareness of postpartum depression, which they both suffered after the births of their children.

The Tows planned to arrive in Ludington sometime Wednesday evening but they ran into rough currents, and are now headed for Manistee.
