The Swim is set for Saturday, September 10, 2011. Registration runs from 9-10:00am

from MacMillan Wharf via Ptown Trolley beginning at 9:30am, and swim back

are welcome, as well as paddlers.
Pledge Information
We set up individual "giving pages" as an option for swimmers, kayakers and others who would like to manage their fundraising online. After experimenting with several options, we have selected FirstGiving. Check the options:
:
1. Check + Cash: No fee. The traditional way and it costs the Swim no fees;
2. First Giving: 7.5% fee. (This is completely optional.) Each swimmer may set up his or her own donation page with stories, photos, etc. and collect pledges through the site. It should be noted that FirstGiving charges 7.5% of total pledges collected through your giving page.
PayPal is available but does not itemize pledges by swimmers, so it is difficlut to monitor pledges.
Thanks for your successful fundraising efforts. We are grateful.
