Swim Kaua‘i Aquatics will be hosting its second “Make A Splash” water safety clinic Saturday at the Kaua‘i High School pool from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and invites the public to take advantage of this free program to increase their knowledge and awareness of water safety.
The clinic will feature water safety demonstrations, swimming as well as other fun water events including the Swim Buddy relay races and splash contests.
The “Make A Splash” campaign by USA Swimming was started in response to the growing number of drownings and near-drownings that occur each year. Geared toward children and families, “Make A Splash” works to educate swimmers on the importance of proper swim instruction and water safety.

Mayors’ Challenge Cup starts this week
The Inaugural 2007 Mayors’ Challenge Cup, an amateur golf tournament competing on public golf courses, gets under way this week with Kaua‘i’s qualifying rounds, followed by Honolulu’s qualifiers next week, culminating in the finals at the Ala Wai Golf Course Nov. 10 and 11. Registration is still open.
The event is funded by private sponsors and replaces and expands the defunct Mayor’s Cup.
“This is a great opportunity for our outstanding Kaua‘i golfers to showcase their talents, as well as build friendships with our neighbors from O‘ahu who share an interest in this sport,” Baptiste said in a release. “We’re very pleased to be a part of this inaugural tournament, and look forward to welcoming the golfers to our Wailua Municipal Golf Course next year.”
Each mayor will field a 12-member team of nine men and three women who are residents of his respective county.
The men’s competition will consist of three divisions:
(a) Open (all ages)
• Championship Flight: Handicap Index not exceeding 7.9
• A Flight: Handicap Index range of 8.0 to 15.9
• B Flight: Handicap Index range of 16.0 to 25.0
(b) Seniors (50 and older) — Same flights, per above.
(c) Super Seniors (60 and older) — Same flights, per above.
The women’s competition will consist of three flights, based only on handicap.
• Championship Flight: Handicap Index not exceeding 11.9
• A Flight: Handicap Index range of 12.0 to 23.9
• B Flight: Handicap Index range of 24.0 to 36.0
The county teams will be selected through a qualifying competition held on municipal courses on Kaua‘i and O‘ahu. Making up the teams will be the top-three finishers (by flights) in the open, senior, super senior (60 and older) and women’s divisions.
