The document summarizes an upcoming 5k swim/fundraiser in Tampa Bay to benefit the Navy SEAL Foundation. The event honors Navy SEALs who lost their lives and supports their families. Participants and volunteers want to give back to the families who have sacrificed the most. The swim across Tampa Bay in January is challenging due to cold water temperatures and hazards like sharks, jellyfish, and storms. Funds raised will provide assistance to families of wounded or killed SEALs, including funeral expenses, memorial services, childcare, education costs, and more. The goal is to raise $500,000 for the Navy SEAL Foundation at the 2016 Tampa Bay Frogman Swim event.
