At 8:00 AM on October 8, 2006, many residents and tourists alike will convene on the beach at Eden Beach Resort for the Jong Bonaire Sixth Annual Swim to Klein Bonaire.  This is an event which has become very popular, with the number of participants growing each year. 

The entry fee is NAFl 15.00 (USD $8.43), and tickets can be purchased in advance at Jong Bonaire, BonFysiotherapie, Croccantino Restaurant, or De Freewieler.  Entry fee also includes lunch and a drink upon return. Swimmers may elect to swim without aids, or they can use mask, fins, and snorkel.  Safety boats are available and will return swimmers to Eden Beach, or swimmers may choose to swim back.
