Registration and incentive pick-up for the wim will begin at noon in the Princess Royale atrium.
Following the swim, an awards ceremony will be held in the Princess Royale atrium.Everyone who raises a minimum of $25 will be eligible to win an incentive. This year's incentives include the following: $25, beanie or coffee mug; $75, long sleeve silk screened T-shirt; $150, silk screened sweatshirt; $250, robe or two beach towels; and $500, one item from each level.
Teams and individuals also compete for awards. First, second and third place awards are given to the highest fundraising teams and individuals.
