MEGA Swim Update

The MS 24 hour MEGA Swim that was conducted on the 10th & 11th of July has now raised over $23,500 for people living with MS.  Our 2 Club swim teams alone raised over $10,700 in donations and sponsors

There were some 150 MEGA Swimmers (8 teams) swimming 570 km in 24hrs

It is estimate that over 400 people at Waves Pool were exposed to the work of our Rotary Club, and more importantly, about 80 of the swimmers were under 30 years of age and experienced Rotary in action

40 volunteers worked for over 145 hours over a 27 hour period, which demonstrates the teamwork in our Club and our Cluster

Our Club MEGA Swimmers were Lyn & Phil Mortimer who swam for 1.5 hours and Angela Dawson, who swam for 1.25 hours.  Our family Swimmers were Nick and Matt Lawrence, Nadine Phillips, Toby Potter, Shannon & Michael Jones.  Our 2 teams swam a total of 98 km

Celebrities who attended the event included Tammy van Wisse, marathon swimmer with 6 world records under her belt (bathers) who promoted the event and was a starting swimmer.

We certainly had fun while helping others â€" Rotary Cares
