Hello everyone,
I'm hosting an open water swim event called the Swim Around Lido Key. It's being held on Sunday, April 12 on Lido Key in Sarasota, FL. The race is 7-miles around the island of Lido Key were each solo swimmer must be escorted by a pilot (kayaker). The pilot helps the swimmer navigate around the island, provides safety, and nutrition. We timed the race based on the tides so that the swimmer/pilot won't have to paddled against any strong currents in either New Pass or Big Sarasota Pass. Pilots get a free race t-shirt, free post race food and beer, goodie bag, and special gift. You can also come to the pre-race social at the Daiquiri Deck on St. Armands Circle on Saturday afternoon. Some of the race proceeds also supports the Swimming Saves Lives Foundation.
If you're interested in kayaking for a swimmer or even just volunteering at the race, please go to http://www.FLOWSwimming.com and click on the Pilot Registration link to register as a pilot or on the Volunteer link to register as a volunteer.
We need 20 more kayakers! We really appreciate your support!
Thank you,
