It has been a year worth of planning for the 2013 SEALS Swim to Survive Ultra-marathon Solo Swim Across Lake Huron, this season's weather and water conditions have not been favourable for our scheduled dates & back up dates.
The swim is to promote drowning prevention which includes the responsible planning and action to keep safety first for swimmers and boaters alike.
Knowing my abilities and the imminent dangers countered with limitations to re-assemble all boats and crew on our 5th attempt to reschedule, the decision has been made to postpone the Harbor Beach to Goderich crossing to 2014.
The Captains and Crew have been outstanding throughout the roller coaster we have been on. We have amazing people that all want to be part of a successful event to promote safe and responsible water and boating practices.
With the excitement still arise our boaters and crew have committed to an altered plan which will have the SEALS Swim to Survive Team complete an Ontario shoreline swim from Bayfield to Goderich (25 km) on Monday August 5th, 5:00am start time with an anticipation of reaching Goderich beach by 2-3pm in the afternoon to waive our Lifesaving Society flags proud of a right and responsible decision.
We all look forward to a more favourable Lake Huron in 2014!
Sincerely,
Lesley Burton Zehr
