Swim Program Rules

1. Club scheduled swims are restricted to club members only.
2. Swimmers are required to wear fluorescent orange caps on all scheduled swims.
3. For out-of cove swims, swimmers must be members in good standing with club dues current, $40 swim fees paid, and a current PMS card on file. In-cove swims are free and open to all members.
4. New members are not eligible to swim in scheduled out-of-cove swims for six months from their membership start. However, if one successfully completes the 100-mile swim or 40-mile Polar Bear swim before their six months are up, they
can participate in out-of-cove swims.
5. Swimmers must be in attendance at briefing prior to each swim in order to participate.
6. Swim sign-up sheets are posted two weeks prior to each swim.
7. Time limits are imposed and enforced for all swims.
8. All club boats are reserved for scheduled swims.

10. Out-of-town members (those residing 100+ miles from the club)
must have successfully completed two of the last three club scheduled
Alcatraz and/or Golden Gate swims or meet Rule 9 above.
