Swim Across America is a dedicated to raising awareness and money for cancer research through swimming-related events around the country. On September 12, they are hosting both 1/2-mile and 2-mile swim courses in Lake Washington. Their goal is to raise $100,000 for the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.

For this inaugural event, Swim Across America is seeking a few sea kayakers to help safeguard swimmers as they navigate the waters of Lake Washington. Find out more about the event on their website.
