Each 3 mile, 6 mile, and 10 mile swimmer is required to have a support person and boat (rowboat, canoe, or kayak), with a cell phone.
All are encouraged to bring their own support teams and boats. Local support teams and boats can be arranged on request and in advance for an additional fee. The supply may
be limited, so these requests will be handled on a first come, first served basis. Supplemental, motorized support will be out on the lake throughout the event and available
to assist upon request by individual support teams, but will not be in a position to monitor each individual long distance swimmer.
August Fees for Kayaks and Yackers
Kayak rental $60
Volunteer Yacker $100
For the 1 mile swim Kingdom Swim is organizing kayaks and patrol boats to monitor swimmers from fixed positions on the shorter courses being run in the afternoon in the bay. These include the 1 mile, ¼ mile and 100 yard courses. Because of space limitations, individual kayaks will not be allowed to accompany individual swimmers but will be stationed along the course to cover all swimmers. Volunteers are welcome.
All pledges support IROC’s groundbreaking Healthy Changes Initiative for people suffering from chronic conditions to attract them and retain them in a long term program of regular exercise.
Prizes will be offered for highest pledges, largest groups, biggest families, furthest traveled to the event, plus the fastest times. A special prize will be awarded to any one who spots and photographs our very own lake monster. This event is being run in conjunction with Kingdom Aquafest, a full weekend of fun activities on the shores of Lake Memphremagog.
