WYNTERHALL SWIM AND TENNIS CLUB

ATTENTION: Prospective Cardboard Boat Racers!

Here's what you need to know:

Date: Saturday September 2nd (Last Event of Family Olympics)

Time: 5:00pm

RULES! (For the integrity of the race, of course)

1. Permitted Boat Materials -- Cardboard and Duct Tape only! The Duct Tape is only permitted for attaching your Cardboard pieces; NOT for covering your entire Boat in order to make it waterproof. Feel free to use Markers to decorate!

2. Race Course = Long Length of the Pool -- like a typical swim meet. The first Boater to the opposite side is the winner; if no one makes it, then the winner will be the Boater who made it the farthest. The Judge has the final say!

3. Teams -- 6-8 teams per race. We will have multiple races if the numbers dictate!

4. Boat Construction -- Feel free to build your boat ahead of time! Boat materials (Cardboard and Duct Tape) will be available on-site Race Day if needed

5. Boaters -- One pilot per boat. No adults! (Duh)

6. Permitted Boating Technique -- Pilots may use their arms and/or paddles to propel their boats; No legs, and no touching the bottom of the pool!

7. Spectators -- Strongly encourages to use water guns on the Boat Racers (who might also consider wearing Goggles)

8. Prizes for the Victor(s); also being considered is a secondary prize for the top Boat Design/Decor and/or Pirate Costume

SEE YOU THERE!
