Proud Coach

Our 1st Annual Stowe Swimmers Swim-A-Thon was a tremendous success yesterday. 26 swimmers jumped in eager to swim for 1 hour and they amazed onlookers; family, friends, and their coach as the number of laps began to pile up! Not a whine or a groan from any of them, only a huge desire to do their best, work together with their lane mates and prove to themselves what they are capable of accomplishing! The goal of this event was two fold, a fundraiser and a physical task. The funds are due Monday the 29th, but despite the total raised this event met the goal and provided the swimmers with a physical task that they conquered with smiles and cheers.

Thank you so much for all the volunteers who counted laps, I appreciate your positivity and support.

Laps were counted as down and back trips in the pool, each lap equalling 50 meters. Please review the list of swimmers in alphabetical order and their laps and total distance swam.
