“The PLUNGE ”
The Plunge is a non-conforming event, thus it is an unofficial race. Each participating swimmer will be given one opportunity to “Plunge” from the block and go as far as possible without kicking or taking a breath. The person going further than others will be declared the champion. Plunge awards will be presented to the male and female Champions.
