I mean, who wouldn't, right? We hold tryouts each June for swimmers and kayakers. If you want to get on the 2025 list, email us at OLAUG.MA@gmail.com.
To be a swimmer, in addition to being an old lady (obviously!) you need to be an excellent swimmer, comfortable in the water for 90+ minutes and proficient in use of a mask and snorkel. We swim freestyle with no fins. You should be able to swim a half mile in under 30 minutes (and be able to swim a mile) and free dive to 8-10 feet.
To be a kayaker, you need to be able to maneuver with some finesse without whacking swimmers in the head. You should also be comfortable taking (and maybe talking) trash from the swimmers.
