This one brings back my own memories of swimming several miles a day in the Aegean (with flippers, I have to admit), about 40 years ago. Water was so warm and buoyant that you could roll over and take a nap every now and then. With SwimVacation, I think somebody brings you a pillow when you get tired. Take that Mr. Denison and your demons of the cold water.
Raffle tickets are a designated $100 donation per ticket. Buy a few and improve your chances. This is a truly great prize and a great cause. And, you don’t have to be registered in this year’s swim to enter this raffle. You just have to have the proper Kingdom Swim Spirit.
In order to participate in this particular aspect of Kingdom Swim, please send an e-mail to phil@wilsonwhite.com indicating how many tickets you want and then mail your donation to IROC, PO Box 558, Derby, VT 05829 with a notation of SwimVacation in the memo section and we will create a ticket for you.
I would add, if you are a Kingdom Swimmer and you decide to buy your way straight up into one of these vacations, SwimVacation will make a donation to Kingdom Swim on your behalf. How’s that for one handed back scratching?
