kayakers needed for shephearding swimmers at Cayuga Lake events

Hey there,

The Ithaca Kayak Club will start announcing these events on their mailing list, but I thought I'd give y'all an advance heads-up.

They are responsible for swimmer safety for two events at the south end of Cayuga Lake and if any of you guys want to come help, the more the merrier!

It just involves learning the safety drills and then participating.

For a rough idea of what you can learn to raise your skill level go to this guide.
