Here is More info on the une 27 Coney Island Swim Support:

Hello. I am rounding up many, many kayakers for this lovely Coney Island
Aquarium 5K Swim on June 27th.
It's the Cibbows group. And let me tell you. These Cibbows guys are way fun.
I really enjoy their events. It's a great day on the ocean. One of the nicer
swim supports.
I am collecting a slew of kayakers this time because they want the swimmers
watched pretty carefully.
And--- it is----a very early morning gig, this swim support.
They want the kayakers at the beach in front of the Aquarium in Coney Island at
5:45 am! We will truck DTBH boats out-or feel free to cartop your own.
But...it is a worthy journey.
They feed us well.
They give out great goodie bags. (luv their shirts and bags)
We get to go surfing.
We picnic on a lovely beach.
And----- this time --they threw in a nice little party at the Aquarium.
The race starts and ends there. Folks can park in the Aquarium parking lot there
in Coney Island that morning
If you feel like helping out--please contact me back channel...
I just have to work out the logistics, get your shirt size, get a head count,
and know if you will attend the Aquarium party--or go surf and picnic at the
other beach spot.
(Tough decision-I know...) Here is the Cibbows description of their event
below...
Thanks!

On June 27th, 2009, at 7am, approximately 150 swimmers will jump into the ocean
for the inaugural Coney Island 5K and New York Aquarium Mile, a pair of
open-water races to be held at Coney Island.

The 5k race will draw an international field of elite swimmers, including
several who have swum the English Channel, Catalina Channel, around Manhattan,
and other formidable swims. Braving currents, cold water, chop, jellyfish, and
fierce competition, they will swim a 3.2-mile circular course to the end of
Brighton Beach, the Coney Island Pier, and back to the Aquarium.

Concurrently, there will be a one mile event for swimmers of all ages and
abilities. The New York Aquarium Mile will have a diverse cross-section of
swimmers from the Tri-state are of all ages and abilities--some of whom will be
getting their feet "wet" for the first time.

CIBBOWS and the New York Aquarium co-host the event, which will be followed by
festivities at the Aquarium that include music, food, award ceremony, and fun at
the aquarium.

We need kayakers and volunteers, so come out and join the fun! Come for
Nathans! The Cyclone! The Wonder Wheel! Russians in their underwear! Ruby's
on the boardwalk (where you'll find the race organizers after the hoopla!) Or
hang at the aquarium and commune with the seals. So many options! Conact Sandy
