Kayak support paddlers needed for Swim Around Char...
Author Last Post

As of today (Thursday) they still need help.....!!

Swim Around Charleston is an open water swim event through the Charleston Harbor where every swimmer is accompanied by a kayak support person. It is scheduled for Sunday, October 6, 2019. There is still a need for kayak support for these swimmers. They cannot  touch your kayak, but you support them by handing them the items they need. It is a 12 mile course and swimmers must complete it in 6 hours, although the majority do not take near that long. There is monetary compensation for the kayak support paddlers.
If you are comfortable in the harbor and in the bigger rivers please consider helping them out. Please contact Bev Cosslett at Sea Kayak Carolina (914.299.0919) to get more information. I have done this event and it was a great experience helping out these amazing swimmers. I will be doing it this year as well, so will be glad to help folks get set. You can contact me as well, but Bev has the current details. Thanks, 
Nancy Nicodemus
