Despite the rain, 20+ Federal Way Kings swam in the 1st Men and Women of Steel swim / picnic on August 26th. A one mile course was set in the shape of a coat hanger. Swimmers could choose the Fin or No Fin division. After the mile event, impromptu relays were arranged and most swimmers participated. It didn’t matter to them that it was raining - they were already wet. Following the swim, swimmers, family and friends enjoyed a BBQ lunch. The team provided the burgers (beef, chicken and salmon) and drinks. Team members brought salads, side dishes and desserts. The biggest hit was the hot coffee that Lynn and Larry Gross brought for the cold swimmers. The food was delicious and enjoyed under the covered pavilion near the beach. After lunch, Wendy and Jenn awarded prizes to the winners:
Prizes followed a Super Man theme with capes (AKA towels) for the winner of the No Fin division and hats for winners of the Fin division. All swimmers received a "Man of Steel" wrist band for participating in the first Men and Women of Steel Swim. A special "thank you" to Julie and Jerry Montiel for purchasing the food and prizes. Also, to Wendy and Malcolm Neely and Jenn and Ken Messler who kept us safe in the water. Don't miss the 2nd Annual Men and Women of Steel Swim and Picnic next summer!
