Pink Flamingo has been one of the most anticipated events at the IGLA+ Championships over the years. This year, we are going to build on the past and mix it a bit up by adding Pink Flamingo fun relays to the event. Our goal is to bring the entire IGLA+ community together in a fun way in the water, regardless of which sport they compete. The theme for this year’s Pink Flamingo and fun relays is United by Water.  

​

Run of Show:

2:00 - 2:25 pm Teams get organized

2:25 – 2:30 pm Welcome

​

The Pink Flamingo performance will work the same way as it has in the past.

• Teams will organize a skit, keeping the theme in mind. There must be at least one element on the pool deck and one in the water. 

• Teams should keep the performance to a maximum of five minutes.  

​

The Pink Flamingo Fun Relays will work like this.

• Any IGLA+ 2025 DC athlete can participate in the Pink Flamingo Fun Relays

• Pink Flamingo organizers will assign athletes to relay teams

  • Pink Flamingo organizers will be deliberate so that each relay team will have athletes from different sports and geographies

  • There will be up to 8 Pink Flamingo Fun Relays; the number of relay members will depend on how many people sign up

  • Each team will have a captain

  • Each leg of the relay race will be 25 yards

• Any athlete choosing not to participate in the PF Fun Relays can join the cheering squad in the viewing area for each of the 8 relay teams

• The proposed relays will be:

  • Relay #1: swim with inflatable rainbow unicorn

  • Relay #2: two-swimmer relay where one person pulls, the second person kicks

  • Relay #3: swim wearing blue jeans (you will need to bring your own blue jeans)

  • Relay #4: swim carrying a plastic martini glass with a rubber duck. If you “dump the duck”, you must stop and retrieve the duck, before you continue swimming

  • Relay #5: kick while holding a pride or trans flag in one hand.
