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.
