Pointe to LaPointe Swim
August 9, 2008
Bayfield
The Friends of the Recreation Center is hosting a swim from Bayfield to Madeline Island. Participants will swim 2 miles along the path of the ice road, from the Washington Ave. beach in Bayfield to Griggs Point on Madeline Island. There is a race event for experienced open water swimmers, plus a community swim. Community swimmers will be required to have a wetsuit (references provided) and arrange for their own personal escort boat, either kayak, rowboat or small vessel. Relay teams of 2-4 can swim in a loose relay format where they can switch in and out of the water from an escort boat. The entry fee is $50 or $100 in pledges and donations to the Friends of the Recreation Center. Relay entry is $100 or $200 in pledges.
The Friends is looking for volunteers to help out with the event. Kayakers and boaters are needed as escorts to swimmers. Sponsorships and pledges are welcome.
