The 2021 100×100 Charity Swim does it again!
Okanagan Masters Swim Club in conjunction with the H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre was pleased to host the annual 100 x 100 Charity Swim event this past Sunday, Dec 12th.
Event organizer and OMSC President Ann Stanley noted that 2021 event was largest ever – both in numbers of swimmers and total dollars raised. Thanks goes also to Melody Geddes and Cailla Patterson for helping organize the event.
30+ swimmers took to the water from 5am to 9am and swam up to 10 kilometers each. There were also teams participating who shared the daunting distance – all in the name of raising funds for the YMCA Strong Kids Program.
Nick Mansfield, Centre Manager for the H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre was on deck for the morning and had this to say about the event – “Thanks for including me and for such amazing fundraising! Over $6300 was raised at this event. It was awesome getting to see everyone and meeting all the faces that make up this large family here at the H20 Centre!”
The Patterson Group-Dale and Cailla Patterson at RE/MAX Kelowna generously donated two Rockets Tickets and parking passes to our top fundraiser Phred Martin. More top fundraisers were Val Newth, Melody Geddes, Naomi Neukon, Tammy Shaule, Stephanie Oliver, and Diana Cooke-Dallin. Thank you to every swimmer who brought in pledges.
Draw prizes for all the swimmers were donated by Across the Lake Swim Society (their wonderful towels, T-shirts, and other swag) and Ann Stanley RE/MAX Kelowna (bottles of bubbly wine and other fun gifts).
