EVENT DETAILS
Dear Swimmers, Paddlers, Security Boaters,
Volunteers, & New Friends,
Thanks for your interest in joining this exciting
event. Here are the details for the Swim for Life
& Paddler Flotilla Community Benefit for AIDS &
Women’s Health:
1. The Swim is set for Saturday, September 8. Registration
is at 9:30am on the deck of the Boatslip Resort,
161 Commercial on Provincetown Harbor. The Swim
begins at 11:00am. Swimmers will be transported
to Long Point at 10:30am and swim back to the Boatslip,
about 1.4 miles. Non-competitive and competitive
swimmers are welcome, as well as paddlers.
 2.
Swimmers, paddlers, and security boaters must sign
the official registration and liability release
form. Swimmers under 18 must obtain parents’ or
guardians’ signatures as well. See registration
form.
3. Each swimmer/paddler is expected to raise a minimum
of $100 in pledges (ask for pledges for the entire
swim). Ask your sponsor to pay when making a pledge.
Money should be collected in advance and turned
in when registering on 9/8. (Make checks payable
to "Swim for Life".) Swimmers /paddlers collecting
$150 or more will receive a free t-shirt. Wetsuits
will be loaned to Swimmers who choose to wear one
only after registering. Water temperature is unpredictable,
but is usually around 65 degrees. Prizes will be
awarded for top fundraisers, including the $1,000
Club; Circle of Honor medals will be presented to
participants who have raised $10,000 or swam in
10 events.
 4.
ADOPT-A-SWIMMER: Swimmers and paddlers are encouraged
to enlist a friend or two as a support person, and
to help collect pledges. Also, if you have a wet
suit, please bring it. Free wet suits will be loaned
to those who need them.
5. Safety boaters, particularly kayakers, are needed
for the safety of all swimmers. Additional boats
always needed. The Swim will organize the boats.
