The
Bahamas Air Sea Rescue Association (Grand Bahama) is
a dedicated non-profit voluntary organization committed to saving the
lives of distressed seamen or airmen in the Bahamas. They are supported
only by private donations and therefore require your support through
their fundraising projects. Aside from the costs of their daily
operations and rescue efforts, they are seeking to purchase modern
lifesaving equipment like defibrillators. In addition, they are looking
to the future where they can have a permanent waterfront base of
operations with their own building, on Grand Bahama.
The Swim Marathon is two miles long and encourages fitness
enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels to come out and swim from Our
Lucaya to Coral Beach. The kids get involved with a one mile and half mile
swim. This is always an exciting event, with the fastest swimmers
taking thirty minutes to finish, to the last hardy competitors
completing in about two hours. Right after this epic event is the
famous beach party on Coral Beach. The general public is invited to
attend and take part in the biggest beach party of the season. There is food, games, beverages, and it’s fun to meet up with people you
haven’t seen in a while. Of course, since it’s a beach party, it’s also
the place for the girls to show off their figures in the latest styles
of bikinis.
