High Fives for Five Os

When: Saturday, May 23rd, 2020 3am to 9pm
An 18-hour relay swim to raise money for our men and women in blue.


Cost: $50 to enter for one hour as a relay swimmer, in the 18 hour long relay swim.  

As of now, here are the available openings which we are hoping to fill completely:



18 hours @ $50 = $900 total donation

Spread the word and lets get a full 18 hour relay swim going!

Rules

  • Anyone can participate, as long as you have the endurance to pace yourself and swim for 56 minutes within a one hour period.  For every 15 minutes of swimming, you are allowed up to one minute rest, but the current will remain going. No more than 4 minutes of rest per hour.  
  • You may swim at any speed you wish, and can use any type of swim equipment/aid you wish.  Hand paddles, snorkel, wetsuit?  No problem!
  • Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your start time so you are completely ready to jump in 1 minute prior to your start time and tag the previous swimmer out.
All the money collected will 100% go to a SLC Police Officer that I trust like a brother to be distributed to a peer that he knows which could benefit the most.  I will encourage him to report back to me what impact the donation made for those benefiting, to share back with you.

To register

Email me at ggridley@gordongridley.us, and let me know what times above (that are not already in red) which would work for you, and we'll get you on the list, and get your donation via Venmo.  


What you get

  • With the recent lifting of restrictions, and going to a "Yellow" (Low risk) status: We will be serving all you can eat pancakes for swimmers and their families, who may want to come see their loved one swim in this pool that they've heard about.
  • You will be included in a Facebook Live streaming of the event, and you can check out how the other swimmers are doing when you aren't in the water.
