The Swizzle Inn – “one more toast”

                       
 2007 RTS RACE RE-CAP & RESULTS:

2007 Event Photographs click HERE

 
October 21st 2007.
Over 160 swimmers from 19 different US states and several continents were welcomed to Bermuda for Élan’s 17th Annual Bermuda Round the Sound Open Water Swim. Blessed with beautiful skies the days leading up to the event the swimmers gathered for their customary group swims visiting some of Bermuda’s most beautiful beaches and reefs. Bermudian swimmer Mike Cash was swim tour guide extraordinaire. Mike often would freedive down into the depths and through the reefs to bring back a handful of pink sand to share with the visiting swimmers. In addition to these group swims Coach “fire those hips” Sue (Welker) kept everyone loose with her early morning Pilates on Grotto Beach. The afternoon and evenings were spent touring the islands many beaches, exquisite restaurants, and of course the socials at Swizzle Inn.
 
Beautiful weather continued right through event day as the swimmers were transported to their starting locations. The 10K course took the swimmers the entire distance around Harrington Sound and was won by Liz Dillman (complete results follow). Each distance offered had it share of competition and as conversations suggested friendship building at the check in points.
 
A special Thank You, or to put it another way “one more toast” goes out to:
 
-all the swimmers who truly made this event a success.
-the volunteers at Aqua Moon Adventures
 
Kevin Insley, for his leadership, sponsorship, and warm smile while being the go to guy for everything related to this event.
 
The Dolphin Swim team who’s behind the scenes administration was second to none –a first class production! They also grilled some of the best post event food adding to the celebratory awards ceremony.
 
Reeve Trott and Duncan Newby whose adventurous sprit continues some 17 years after founding this event. Let's not forget the bottomless cooler they kept full post race!
 
The Grotto Bay Beach Resort, our headquarters hotel, who let us swim in their Grotto's Caves, filled us with delicious food and drink and made sure all our needs were met.
