A good time for a great cause...2011 Swim For Hope

     Sunday's Swim for Hope -AKA Wacky Relays- provided lots of laughs and some friendly competition among a diverse collections of swimmers while raising funds for the Wellness Communities and their efforts to fight breast cancer.  Enthusiastic youngsters, Sharks Masters  and Youth Swimmers, Sarasota Storm Triathletes and former Olympians tested their creative skills involving inflatable rings & beach balls, kitchen ware, spare clothes, and other oddities.  The event was MC'd by ABC 7's Chief Meteorologist Bob Harrigan...and finished with a grudge match between Bob and 2x Olympian and Silver Medalist Tripp Schwenk and a new instant rivalry between Bob and 3x Olympian Agnese Butler.  Tripp demonstrated the 1/2 pool head start Bob had last year may have been a factor in his 2010 victory. Then Agnese welcomed Bob to the world of triathlon by waiting, crossing into his lane and at the last second, snatched victory from his grasps by a 2 handed tug on his leg.  (as seen on the ABC 7 Broadcast).  Thanks to the Sarasota Storm Tri Club for fielding so many teams for this great cause.
