Dear Kayaker:  

We still have availability for about 10 paddlers to accompany swimmers for the 41st Annual Swim Around Key West on June 24. If you haven’t signed up yet, please do so ASAP. I will be pairing swimmers and kayakers at the end of this month.

(If you have already registered, one easy way to confirm is by clicking on the “Sign Up Now!” button below and then check the list at the bottom left that says “Look Who Else is Registered!”)
 
THE DETAILS AGAIN:
As a support kayaker, you will receive a guaranteed honorarium of $110 for your service. This amount has been prepaid by the swimmers and will be distributed to you after the completion of the event. If you provide your own kayak, you will receive an additional $50. We will have kayaks available (at no charge) for those who do not have access to a kayak.
Your commitment includes attending the pre-race registration and meeting on June 23 at 6 p.m. at the tent on Smathers Beach in Key West. You must be at Smathers Beach on the morning of June 24 by 6:15 a.m. The majority of swimmers complete the race in 5-7 hours.
Your job will require you to provide much needed support to the athlete in any way necessary. You will be his/her only contact for the entire 12.5-mile swim. You will carry his/her food and drink and any additional gear needed. The swimmer is not allowed, at any time, to stand up or even hang on to your kayak. Many of the athletes have trained all year for this momentous event, and they come from all around the U.S. and even overseas. They are a great group of people and you will have a lot of fun being a part of the event. You will finish tired and inspired!

We currently have 109 solo swimmers registered, with requests for 40 support kayakers (That’s YOU!). We have filled more than 30 positions, but still need a few more.

If you are able to make the commitment now, please complete the online form as soon as possible. All positions will be final as of June 1.

I look forward to receiving your application. Please contact me with any questions. Feel free to forward this email to friends or anyone else who might like to participate.

 

Sincerely,

 

Katie Leigh
