Therefore, it is only fitting that we would host a special event of this nature to showcase what mother nature has bestowed on us on Grace Bay Beach." The race, which has also been certified by Green Globe as an ecologically responsible event, aims to raise awareness of the need to protect fragile reefs and oceans as well as promote the sport of open water swimming. It will also raise funds for charities that support programs for children in the Turks & Caicos and Haiti.
