Hi All - Swimming Key for the first time this year and have a few questions.
1) Sun block - have heard all types of combinations, options - can anyone who swam this in past tell me what they used?
2) Boat vs Kayak - A family member has a small flats boat (great for shallow) water and I'm thinking of having my support team ride on this. Any reason I should consider a kayak instead?
3) Any advice for folks who want to see parts of the swim, but won't be a boat? Is their best bet just to play at the beach and then watch the finish?
4) Does anyone know how many swimmers competed last year (2007)?
Any other advice for a newbie would be much appreciated!
Ah…. those legendary Key West socials –have a blast. There is a reason Hemingway was keen of and spent time in Key West!
-swim fast Kim, Ralph, Derek, Mandy, and everyone else…..
AnslieStokes –for your cheering squad there are several locations they will be able to watch you from, I am sure these (sunset piers and cow key bridge -where you will swim under) and others will be discussed at the pre race meeting.
