Swimtastic
Challenge: Sponsored swim
Congratulations to everyone who took part in the Swimtastic
Sponsored Swim on Saturday March
15th 2008, which proved to be a huge success.
Monies raised by the
swim will help raise much-needed funds towards the salary of a lymphodaema
nurse at the new Hospice. All monies raised will stay on the Island to
support local causes. Total
funds raised are yet to be confirmed.
Amateur Swimming Association
President, Alan Donlan set the swimmers off.
Twenty-six swimmers took
part in the event, swimming a whopping 1,778 lengths between them - which
worked out at just
over 28 miles.
Manx Health & Fitness would like to thank the lap counters for giving up
their time, Geoff Corlett for
making it possible for the President to open the event, Photographer Tim
Moolman, M&S, Intersport
& Clucas' Flowers for their prize donations and finally the swimmers who
took part and made this
event possible.
