If you have been waiting for a reason to go to the Caribbean, you now have one. The seventh annual Bonaire Ecoswim is taking place Nov. 10, 2007. Sponsored by Aqua Moon Adventures and the Bonaire Hotel and Tourism Association, this event includes participants from all over the world swimming side by side with angelfish, blue tangs and tarpon.

Eight swim events will be held, so there is something for everyone, including a 200-meter race from pier to pier for the children. For more advanced swimmers there will be 10K, 5K, 3K and 1K races. The festivities for the event will begin on Nov. 9 with a welcome dinner and a meeting to discuss the rules and the courses for each race.

Entries must be received by Oct. 27, 2007.
