Over the weekend of November 10th 2012, The LAB Sports Academy hosted the 5th Annual HARBOR TO PIER Swim Meet. This event was a great success, we had a great turnout of participants. These participants competed in three categories:
Over two distances:
1. Short Distance Swim (1.3 KM.)
2. Long distance Swim (2.5 KM.)
The LAB Sports ACADEMY in Collaboration with BEAR FOOT Restaurant hosted this event in conjunction with the celebrations for St. Maarten Day. The event got started on Saturday 6:30 AM with a sign up following all athletes getting on the Bus of Mr. Illis which took all swimmers to the Harbor where we jumped off the Pier.
The swim was supported by the Sheriff Security & the Coast Guard safeguarding the safety of all Swimmers.
A Big Thank you goes out to the Management of the Harbor Facilities for permitting us to make use of their Pier for the Start of this event.
Also a big thank you to the Sheriff Security and the Coast Guard.
We are looking forward to their continuous support.
