Note that a relay team has to raise at least $7500 to participate. Ouch! -LBJ Yeah it's quite a high watermark (no pun intended) you need 4-6 people on a team too. I just raised $500 for my MS swim this year. I understand everyone feels reluctant to raise funds, as they love to swim, but the money doesn't go to the swimmer it's IS for the charity. They just use your enthusiasm for the sport to leverage the the fundraising.

Shouldn't this be in the open water forum?

I'd love to do this some time. Let me know when they post next year's info, and I'll plan it on my calendar. This is one of those things (along with LaJolla) that I always think of doing, but then I wait too long and my work calendar fills. give.stvincents.org/.../Page.aspx Here's the link for this year.

You can do it as a team too and take a mile each sort of thing. If anyone wants to do next year...let me know.
