_ALL SWIMMERS TAKE OFF AT 6:05 PM FROM THE DOCK. LATE ARRIVALS SWIM AT
THEIR OWN RISK., NO SIGN IN OR SIGN OUT NEEDED._
NEW OWS PARTICIPANTS MAY REQUEST A SWIM ANGEL IF ONE IS AVAILABLE. THE
SWIM ANGEL WILL SWIM WITH YOU AND KEEP AN EYE ON YOU FOR YOUR SWIM.
* PARTICIPANTS MAY SIGN UP TO BE A SWIM ANGEL IF ONE IS NEEDED. If one
is not needed, you may continue with your regular swim. Swim Angels
will earn volunteer points.
* SWIM ANGEL Expectations:
* When someone is just starting out and feeling a bit uncomfortable
getting in the open water the first few times, they may request a Swim
Angel.
* Swim Angel volunteers sign-up to guide, motivate, educate and
support up to two swimmers who have requested a Swim Angel. The ratio
is 1 Swim Angel to 2 Swimmers.
* Please be aware, Swim Angels are not lifeguards and all swimmers
swim at their own risk.
* Volunteer Swim Angels: Please arrive before the beginner wave starts
to meet the member(s) who have requested one.
* If there are no requests, you are able to swim on your own!
*
Every swimmer is required to sign the 2025 Waiver when you register
online (last years is no longer valid!) and the form will also be
available at check-in.
*
Every swimmer needs to SIGN-IN TO THE LOG BOOK and list emergency
contact persons name and phone number. This is necessary so that we
can account for everyone's safety!
*
There will be a safety briefing held before swimmers start.
*
SWIM SAFETY BUOYS ARE REQUIRED BY ALL SWIMMERS. They can be purchased
online at Amazon. We have a limited number of Swim Safety Buoys and
are first come first served. _NO BUOY = NO SWIM_
*
BRIGHT SWIM CAPS must be worn by all swimmers. We will have a limited
number available in case you forget to bring one.
*
After the swimmer returns, they must SIGN OUT OF THE LOG BOOK. The
Swim Lead Coordinator will call the emergency contact if the swimmer
does not log themselves out.
*
All participants (swimmers and volunteers) are encouraged to sign up
for Rained Out text notifications

* We recommend getting there early so that you have time to sign the
waiver, get your swim buoy set up, swim cap, etc. *
** We need 4 Volunteer Kayakers and 2 SUP's (You don't have to be a
member to volunteer for water support but membership is encouraged!)
--Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and comfortable having
swimmers hold on to the vessel while in the water. RTC provides the
kayak/SUP, however if the volunteer wants to bring their own kayak
they must register as such and they need to notify the Swim Lead
Coordinator upon arrival at the Park. All will be provided with PFD's
(personal flotation devices). Waiver form completion is required.
_SWIMMERS AND WATER SUPPORT, PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE, IF YOU ARE UNABLE
TO MAKE THE SWIM WE ASK THAT YOU CANCEL YOUR REGISTRATION BY ASKING
FOR A REFUND TO ALLOW OTHER CLUB MEMBERS TO SIGN UP. IT IS IMPORTANT
THAT WE HAVE AN ACCURATE HEAD COUNT FOR SAFE WATER SUPPORT COVERAGE._
