I seem to remember seeing flyers for this very thing last spring at one of the indoor pools in Seattle (the Ballard pool, Tim). Also, the pools here stock PFDs that they replace periodically. Around February of this year, the Ballard pool put out a huge cardboard box of their old PFDs. Most were in pretty good shape - wrong style for kayaking, which is our thing - and they were free...
