The 41st Olcott Polar Bear "Swim for Sight"
will be Sunday, March 7, 2010.

   
 

The Swim for Sight is a fun day and fundraising event that supports Lions efforts to help the blind, visually impaired and our community.

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE IN THE ‘SWIM FOR SIGHT’ THIS YEAR?

The Swim for Sight is similar to a walkathon, where swimmers raise contributions, participate in the Polar Bear Swim and receive a T-Shirt and other rewards based on various contribution levels.

We challenge participants to raise $50 or more, but the minimum swimmer contribution this year is $15. Most swimmers collect contributions from friends, family, and acquaintances. Many get their workplace involved and co-workers help them raise funds in and outside the workplace.

Register on-site, provide your contribution and receive your T-Shirt and other eligible rewards on the day of the swim at the Lions Pavilion in Olcott’s Krull Park - then follow the crowd to the swim beach.

Arrive early! bring sneakers, towel and blanket, dry clothes, camera, your friends and a helper. For more details, see our 2010 Swim for Sight page.

Sponsored by the Olcott Lions Club, the Swim for Sight has become best  known for its fundraising efforts that aid the blind and visually impaired.
