May 31 - Longevity Awards
Did you know that we have a dedicated group of volunteers who pour through all of the results from past years and post them up on the Bay Swim Archives page for all to look at. That website is http://bayswim.awardspace.info/index.html
One of the special things that we do is to award LONGEVITY AWARDS to our swimmers, starting at 10 years and going every 5 years after that.
We want to invite everyone to check the list below and let us know if we've missed you in our count. We want to make sure that we acknowledge EVERYONE who has continued to swim with us. When you look at these names, please keep in mind that the ONE odd year that we had to swim a shortened course due to weather, STILL COUNTS as a crossing that year.
You can see this list online at http://bayswim.awardspace.info/awards.html
Check out the Bay Swim Archives button at the top of this email to see all of the great data!
If you believe you should be on the list below, and you are not, please send an email directly to info@bayswim.com so that we can get you on there.
