Safety
Safety is our No. 1 priority. Qualified safety personnel have the authority to pull any swimmer out of the event for safety reasons. For warmth, speed and buoyancy, especially for children under 13 and the very skinny, wet suits are recommended , but not required. The swim will proceed in all but lightning and severe wind and cold. Participants wearing fins will not qualify for speed awards. Refunds will not be given if canceled due to weather or any other reason.
Stick around after the swim
Swimmers and the volunteers will enjoy food, music, prizes and drawings. Prizes will not be of great material value. The real prize is the satisfaction of participating in the healthful, and somewhat crazy, activity of swimming all the way across Lake Pend Oreille.
Time Limit
2.5 hour time limit for swim.
