I think we need 50 swim buddies for Carlsbad. That's about what we had, and it seemed to be just right. Please let me know of any comments or suggestions.
The only complaint I heard was about the black swim caps. I now think that they are a good idea - the guards shouldn't need to see us, just the racers. We should just kind of blend into the background. If we stay close to our racer, the racer should be able to see us just fine.
Here are some photos - I think people had fun...

p.s. If you aren't waiting in line at Comic-Con to check out Doctor Who, you should swim buddy at Solana Beach this Sunday morning. Try this link to register:
