A few more notes & FAQs:
- The raffle prizes are super awesome, including Timex watches, family tickets to ImagiNation, FroYo gift cards, and more.
- We will accept registrations the day of the event but it will be VERY HELPFUL to us if you pre-register so that we know how many children to expect.
- PLEASE, forward this email to family, friends, neighbors, and the like to help us spread the word about this first-time event, where the main focus is on participation, getting kids to be healthy and active, try something new, be proud of themselves and have a great time!
- If there is thunder/lightning the event will be delayed, and if it is deemed unsafe to swim, the event may just become a running race.
- If you have additional questions, please reply to this email!
- We will send out more "pre-race details" to all registrants on Sunday or Monday to help you prepare for the big event on Tuesday!
