Be a Danskin Swim Angel (if you're not racing)
If you want to be a Danskin Swim Angel, email ardis@thexxtramilellc.com to sign up. I just did!
They even have a facebook page with tips for swimmers!
have either of you heard back from Ardis yet?
I emailed but haven't received a reply,
StaceyÂ
same as LP
I got a message from Ardis much the same as LP describes, with a link to the same page that LP put in the original post about the swim angel program. She did say to email her if you have any questions in between, so if you're concerned, just shoot her another email.

I think that's what I'll do, too
I so want to make it 7 Danskins in a row, but the Neil Young Concert the night before really makes it a Bad Idea to try and race Danskin this year. I might could be a SwimAngel though (at least, I have the desire.. if they don't mind a doggie-paddle/breaststroke kinda thing to help the women get through)

I'll be joining in as well
sounds like a good year for the Swim Angels
thanks for reminding me of this, PamÂ
Me too!

More Volunteer Opportunities!!
And if you want to volunteer elsewhere on the course, here is how to find out more!
Gina:
It's official. I am the volunteer coordinator for Danskin this year.
If you could do me a huge favor and pass this email along to your peeps both in Tri Zones and friends who are on other mailing lists, I would greatly appreciate it. The race is June 6th, but we need volunteers for both Saturday, June 5th and Sunday, June 6th.
By following this link: http://www.danskintriathlon.net/volunteer.html, you will get an idea of volunteer times, and volunteer roles. Right now they are all up for grabs and will be given on a first come, first serve basis.
Thanks in advance for passing this along.

I'm in!
Just got an e-mail saying I'm on the roster to be a Swim Angel!! I'm so excited to do this.
Me seven!
I signed up, got a reply, and am on the roster...Scott will be kayaking, too. This will be FUN!Â
I received my confirmation e-mail to be a Swim Angel for Danskin
and Ardis put this in the e-mail text...Â
What are you wearing?
Heee, I was wondering how many would be wearing long-sleeved vs. short-sleeved wetsuits vs. just plain swimsuits or tri suits. And are y'all bringing fins? Anything in particular that would be helpful besides what the e-mail suggested?Â
don't have much choice
Since Mother Nature has played some kind of cruel trick and put back the 50 lbs that I worked so hard to lose in 2005 and 2006, there is no way I can pack that kind of bulk into my wetsuit. Plus, it'll be really hot. I'll be wearing the original 'Go-Fast(TM)' TZ Trisuit, but no fins because I haven't practiced with fins and usually have to swim a few times in order to not get cramps. I hope this will work because according to Laura, we'll be in the water 2 and a half hours or more!

Let's wear Trizones Go-Fast!
I was in the water last Saturday and it's like bath water. I think a wetsuit will be way too hot. I'm going to wear my TZGofast outfit! Wouldn't that be cool if we all did? Swim Angels, sponsored by Trizones!!
I just signed up! Thanks for the info!
