2nd Annual 10K Swim Challenge This Sunday on the Pond

This Sunday we are hosting a swim meet...not just any swim but a 10K swim. That is 6 miles in chilly...no cold water. Ray Gandy is the originator of the swim challenge and he also swims as well. These are elite swimmers who swim very long distances in cold water. The meet starts at 8AM for instructions to the volunteers and swimmers. Refreshments will be served as well. There will be kayaks, jet skis and a float boat along the route to guide and offer assistance as needed. Around 8:30Am volunteers will be released to mount their watercraft and get into position. The swim starts at 9AM. Right now the pond temperature is in the upper 60s...brrrrrrrr!

This is one of the signs my husband made to get people to our island for the meet. Right now we have two days of heavy rain and wind...hopefully this storm is over by Sunday AM.

I will post more pictures after the meet....
