Join me for a refreshing swim on the last day of swim season at Shawnee Mission Beach and remember to "Just Keep Swimming"
Admit it, you sang that just like Dory, didn't you? Sorry, if it's stuck in your head now.
***EVERYONE IS INVITED, BUT THIS IS NOT AN EVENT FOR EVERYONE***
***FEES ARE $4.00 TO $6.50 DEPENDING UPON AGE AND WHERE YOU LIVE***
***YES - IT'S IN THE LAKE - YOU'LL NEED TO SWIM OR WADE***
***YOU CAN'T ATTEND FROM THE SHORE OR BEACH***
***DO NOT ATTEMPT IF YOU ARE UNABLE OR UNCOMFORTABLE***
***ATTEND AT YOUR OWN RISK***
Take note, the beach is not where the event is being held - if you don't get to the posted coords, then you didn't attend the event. We'll be as close to the back fence of the swim area as we can get while wading.
Event starts at 12:30 PM and will conclude by 1:00 PM.
In the event of inclement weather, a game-time decision on a nearby alternate location will be made.
Please note that this is a fee area and in order to attend you will need to pay to enter the Shawnee Mission Park Beach area. The area opens at noon and you are welcome to stay until it closes at 6:00 PM. Fees vary by age and county of residence from $4.00 to $6.50.
As a higher terrain alternative, you can choose to boat to the lake side of the rope that divides the swimming area from the rest of the lake; you will be responsible for either renting a boat at the nearby marina or for getting the appropriate permit to bring your own watercraft on the lake. This is entirely your decision and responsibility.
