mhabich Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 The 39th Celebrate the Clean Harbor Swim Saturday, August 19 Niles Beach, Gloucester, MA Volunteer Kayakers / Paddle Boarders are asked to be on the beach, with their boats/boards for a Safety meeting by 8:30. There is a 500 m swim for kids 12 and under at 9:00. There will then be a 1.2 mile swim which will start at 9:30. Kayakers are to provide safety support to offer a platform for swimmers to hold on to should the require assistance from lifeguards or police/harbormaster boats. Signal flags/whistles will be provided to kayakers as a means to signal for assistance or extraction if necessary. Kayakers are also asked to keep swimmers from going markedly off course. Sighting and navigation is part of open water swimming, but occassionally, swimmers need a little guidance. In order to ensure receiving a t-shirt for your participation as kayak support, please commit by August 15th and email your size to swen@neowsa.org Thanks, David Swensen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eneumeier Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I did this a few years ago. It was fun and our help was appreciated. Sorry I can't do it this year. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
