Easter Swim, Golden Mile major announcement and more

The water temp is back in the 70s, so it’s time to be thinking open water swimming again.

Only 23 days till the Easter Sunrise service, swim and pancake breakfast. Everybody is welcome to attend, swimmers, non-swimmers, even Vikings. The Eat, pray, swim event has always been an incredibly successful fun morning (Many thanks to our event leadership, Tom Welch, who delivers such a dynamic sermon it has kept Lucky completely awake at least 4 of the nine attempts. That is a 444 batting average, and if Tom were playing baseball with those numbers, he would be in the hall of fame. Of course as amazing as Tom is he can’t pull this off on his own, and we need volunteers if you are willing to help out click here to register as a volunteer. Volunteering is a reward in of itself which is a good thing because that’s all you get for this gig unless you have already met some pretty stringent prerequisites, and then they throw in eternal salvation to sweeten the pie.
