Swimmers Needed!
Swim Laps to Protect the Vulnerable

The second Annual "Swim for Life" is coming June 25. Swimmers of every age group and ability are being asked to swim laps and raise money to ensure the vulnerable among us (the elderly, disabled, young and ill) will be safely evacuated during disasters.

All money raised will help provide SAFELY OUT™ evacuation kits to those in need. Every $10 raised puts one more kit in the hands of someone whose life may be saved.

The event runs from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm on June 25. Come out and swim as many laps as you like; families and teams are welcome too! It promises to be a great day of swimming for fun and for a good cause.

Can't swim that day? You can still help out by pledging another swimmer. Folsom Master swimmer Bill Romanelli will be repeating his 2010 "Swim a 10K to Raise10K" and can certainly use your help.

More details as well as entry and pledge forms are available on the Swim For Life web page.
