The Swim for Smiles Foundation is excited to
announce specific plans for the 4th Chapel Hill
Wacky Relay Day to be held on Sunday, July 12,
2009 at UNC’s amazing pool at Koury Natatorium
(next to the Dean Dome). In addition to the
Wacky Relay Day being an opportunity for kids
that swim in the Chapel Hill Simmer Swim League
(CHSSL) to swim in their Championship Pool one
week before Summer Champs, this is a great way
to culminate a summer season of raising money
with some fun (and Wacky) relays.
At
the beginning of the CHSSL season (mid-May),
each CHSSL Team will be given a Swim for Smiles
Foundation GOAL Thermometer that would be hung
at each team’s pool and would be used to graphically
demonstrate the amount of money raised as the
summer swim season progresses. Each club sets
their own top-end goal and measurement standards.
The Swim for Smiles Foundation will supply all
the materials and prizes to award teams (and
individuals) as they reach their goals. In addition,
SFS will provide pledge envelopes that can be
used by the swimmer all season to keep track
of their financial pledges and to collect the
money they raise. These envelopes will all be
turned in to SFS at the Wacky Relay Day. 
At
the actual Wacky Relay Day, the CHSSL swimmer
will start the day with a team warm-up swim
with each respective team as a way to familiarize
themselves with the Koury Pool (a pool that
is 12-feet deep – compared to the 3-5’ summer-league
pools). Then, the fun starts with relays:
