Swimmer Qualifications:
This swim is not for novices; this event is for experienced swimmers only. To participate, you should be able to swim one mile comfortably in 45 minutes or less, and be comfortable swimming in deep open water. For safety reasons, the race director reserves the right to pull swimmers from the water who cannot complete the course in a reasonable amount of time.

Cancellation:
We reserve the right to cancel the race due to unsafe water or weather conditions, or other reasons beyond our control. The safety of the participants, volunteers and spectators is of utmost importance to us.

Refunds:
No refunds available if the swimmer cancels registration. Should the race be canceled due to adverse weather conditions or poor water quality on both the original race date AND any rain date that may be established, we will refund the participants 50% of their entry fees. Note that we cannot offer a refund for swimmers who are unable to participate on the rain date, should we have to cancel on the original date. Please note that we cannot reimburse swimmers for their travel expenses in case of race cancellation. We cannot defer or transfer registrations.

Substitutions:
Under no circumstances may you sell, trade or allow someone else to take your entry. Such substitutions jeopardize our insurance and our ability to secure the permits necessary to produce future events.

Safety:
Race officials have the authority to pull a swimmer out of the water for the swimmer’s safety. Potential dangers include, among others, hypothermia and other medical conditions, changes in weather or water condition, conflicts with boat traffic. Lifeguards and kayakers will be patrolling and monitoring the course and a medical team will be available to assist in case of a medical emergency.

Encounters With Glennie:
The best way to interact with Glennie is through ‘passive observation,’ which means observing this creature from a distance without initiating contact. Glennie is used to humans swimming in Glen Lake and is not afraid of us, and is sometimes friendly and curious. Glennie should be respected in its habitat and not disturbed.
