SWIMATHON 2010 IN AID OF VICTIMS OF HURRICANE TOMAS

The SHARKS Swim Club invites the general public to support the 2010 SWIMATHON in aid of VICTIMS OF HURRICANE TOMAS, to be held on Saturday 4th December at the Rodney Heights Aquatics Center.

Last year the Swimmers raised over $8,000 in aid of Dainelle Gaston, a 15 year old boy needing heart surgery. The swimmers so enjoyed the opportunity to swim for charity that this year initially decided to swim for children with cancer.

Unfortunately, the passage of Hurricane Tomas brought a lot of devastation to Saint Lucia and now the Swimmers are committed to raising funds for the victims of Tomas, by participating in the Swimathon to be held in two weeks time.

Members of the public are asked to pledge $1 for every 25m lap of the pool that is swam by the participant in the Swimathon. Schools are encouraged get their students to get involved. Cheques may be made payable to the “SHARKS Swim Club – for victims of Tomas”

Business Houses are also encouraged to participate by pledging $10 for every lap swam by their employee in the Swimathon.

For further information, please contact any Club swimmer or visit the SHARKS Swim Club website at www.sharkswimclub.info or telephone Secretary Tom Speigelberg on 287 7260.

Sincerely

John Bruce

President
