On September 5, 2020 a swim by private citizens will take place at 6 locations to raise money for United Way. These 6 locations are as follows:
- Chester
- Long Lake
- Lake Charles
- Kearney Lake
- Lake William
- Sydney
People will swim in groups of 10 to ensure social distancing and safety as they can then buddy up and keep an eye on each other. The swim distance will be 1.5 km . And the quality of swimmers that would participate should be able to swim the distance in 40 minutes. If more than 10 want to swim at the same location, then swim times will be added at an hour and a half intervals to ensure gatherings are small. Each group of 10 will have a ‘host’ (swimmer volunteer) to update their group of 10, ensure that 10 swimmers get in the water and 10 swimmers get out. Each group will have a friend in a kayak to travel beside the swimmers so to be able to help if a swimmer gets into trouble’. We are hoping that someone in the groups have a friend who will volunteer. Each swimmer is asked to raise $100 (if not more) for United Way. Money raised will stay in your community.
