Courtesy Photo The Catalina Island Swim Club, seen here on Labor Day 2024, is preparing for the annual swim for PANCAM.org.

On Saturday, Sept. 21 , the Catalina Island Swim Club will host its annual fundraising swim for PANCAM.org, pancreatic cancer. Swimmers will meet at Casino Point at 6:45 a.m. and the swim will start at 7:15 a.m. The swim will be 2.2 miles, total, swimming to Frog Rock and back to Casino point. Any distance swimmers care to go is completely acceptable including “just jumping in and getting wet”. Prior to the swim we will have a group photo. Following the swim will be a pot luck breakfast of fruit, drinks, sweets and breakfast dishes brought by the swimmers. Again, the Catalina Cookie Company will supply hot coffee and Xterra Swim Suits will be a sponsor. Each swimmer is requested individually gather donations and donate $40 to participate. Donations can be made directly to PANCAN.ORG and tagging a donation to “Catalina Swim”. For information and questions contact Charlie Canby at 310-809-0661.

The Catalina Island Swim Clubs meets every day of the year at Casino Point at 7 a.m. on weekdays and 7:30 a.m. on weekends and holidays. All levels of swim competency are welcome.
