Residents in Hayward who might be looking for a way to burn off the stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pie this year need look no further than the Karen M. Gordin Turkey Swim.
The event combines, friendly competition and fun, all to honor the name of a local lifeguard while promoting a good cause.
The event begins with a scholarship ceremony. Every year, two $1,000 scholarships go towards current university students who are active lifeguards in the area. The money is given out in the name of Karen M. Gordin, a former lifeguard at the Plunge who passed away in 2001. The scholarship fund was started by friends and relatives of hers who wanted a way to carry on her name and the values that were dearest to her.
After the scholarships are awarded, it’s time to swim. Visitors can swim for fun, including doing laps, or they can participate in a number of small competitions for prizes, including Promotional Products donated by local businesses. A few giveaways will also be held, offering door prizes to any and all attendees.
The Karen M. Gordin Turkey Swim will be held on November 24 from 8:00 am to 11:00 am at the Hayward Plunge, located at 24176 Mission Blvd. Admission is free, but a donation of $4 is recommended. Anyone interested in more info should visit the website or contact the pool directly.
