Important Alert
I just learned minutes ago that the Comfort Inn will be closing for renovations. That means it
will not serve as our headquarters. We will return to the Lexington Hotel. This is the hotel
we used as our headquarters for the 35th and 36th Annual Swim Around Key West.
If you have made reservations to stay at the Comfort Inn the hotel will be in touch with you
and will transfer you to another host hotel.
A fee increase is scheduled for February 1st, 2013.

March Update and Kayaker info.
Greetings from Key West. I hope you are well. I wanted to take a moment and give you a brief update on the preparations for the 35th
Annual Swim Around Key West (12.5 miles) scheduled for June 4th, 2011. Earlier we announced a cap on our various categories. The
cap for the solo division is 75 and we are just under 50. As of this moment we have 27 males entered and 20 females for a total of 47. I
say this to encourage any solo swimmers not already entered to do so immediately. He who hesitates is lost!!
We still have a good amount of openings for the 2 and 3 person relays (the cap for the two person relay is 15 and the three person relay
is 20). Once the cap is reached we will close that category.
