These swimmers are 4 current Saltaire lifeguards, 5 former lifeguards, 4 relatives of lifeguards, one softball commissioner, and one special guest and honorary Saltairian (thanks for bringing us Katrina Hercus!) Their kayakers were all also from Saltaire and that was one windy day for the kayakers ---- HATS oFF to You all!! (Kayaker list to follow.) Check out the official website for the swim at www.greatsouthbayswim.com. There are histories, pictures, much info.

Congratulations to all the swimmers! Great job! I heard conditions were pretty tough even at the start! Way to swim, folk!
And let's not forget two more Saltairians, Bob and Mary Fischer, who have given so much of themselves to making the swim such a great success!
