Mathews Land Conservancy hold its 16th annual Wharf to Wharf Swim at 1 p.m. Sunday at Williams Wharf Landing, Mathews. This open water swim will be approximately one mile out and back in the East River from Williams Wharf.
Registration and check-in begins at noon. All ages and abilities are welcome and swim aids are permitted. Forms will be available at registration or can be found online at www.mathewslandconservancy.org/wharf-to-wharf-swim.
Swimmers should raise at least $100 in tax-deductible sponsorship funds, which will benefit the Williams Wharf Project. Prizes will be awarded to top fundraisers.
Swimmers will start in waves: 1st Wave for Non-Assisted Swimmers (medals will be awarded), 2nd Wave for Assisted Swimmers (swim aids). Times will be recorded for all by the Mathews Outdoor Club.
