Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to wear a wet suit?

Wet suits are not required. Some people feel more comfortable in a wet suit but many swimmers wear just a swimsuit, especially in July and August. You can check the water temperature here to determine what will work best for your body.

 

Can I wear earplugs?

We strongly advise against the use of earplugs as they inhibit swimmers from being able to hear our safety paddlers.

 

How do I get a green River Hugger cap?

Upon successful completion of your first chaperoned swim, you will be awarded a green River Hugger cap to wear when you swim with the Huggers.
