Additionally, there’s a kids’ pier-to-pier fun swim and, new in 2008, is the 2K 2-person relay, where each swimmer swims 1K with the relay exchange taking place at Captain Don’s Habitat’s dock. All events will start and finish at the dock at Captain Don’s Habitat. The races will take place in the morning with an awards ceremony that afternoon. The entry fees for the 10K, 5K, 3K, 1K, and relay swims are $89 per swimmer, if received on or before November 1, 2008. The cost includes one ticket to the welcome dinner, a t-shirt, swim cap, and swimmers permit to the marine park. The cost for entries received after November 1, 2008 is $109 and the t-shirt, swim cap, and dinner will be subject to availability. There is no cost for the kid’s pier-to-pier fun swim.
