Boaters, Paddlers, Safety Personnel.... We need your help! Volunteer to help the Potomac River Swim for the Environment.
The Saturday, June 4, 2016 Potomac River Swim for the Environment
needs boaters, touring kayak paddlers, and public safety workers to
ensure the success of this distance swim, which raises funds and
awareness for the health of the river.
Free camping is available for paddlers at Point Lookout State Park
and free lodging is available for boaters at a local motel Friday and
Saturday nights.
A complimentary pasta supper will be served Friday, June 3, 2016 at
the water safety planning meeting at 6:30 p.m., at the Trinity Parish
Hall in St. Mary's City.
Boaters and paddlers will launch from Pt. Lookout State Park at 6:30am
Saturday morning for a 8:00am swim start from Hull Neck, Va., back to
Point Lookout. Boaters will be asked to follow the course set by our lead
vessel which will constantly compensate for the current.
A free picnic sponsored by the Potomac River Association and
Southern Maryland Sierra Club will follow the swim.
Tee shirts will be distributed to all involved.
