Final Swim-A-Thon Results are In!

Jun 15, 2010

To:  Athletes and Families of the Minnetonka Swim Club

The results from our very first swim-a-thon are truly ASTOUNDING.  
 
Such an accomplishment would not be possible without an amazing group of swimmers who went above and beyond to reach out to raise support and then go the distance in the pool.  Imagine, on that Saturday our swimmers completed more than 300 miles and raised more than $92 per mile!  
 
What was equally impressive was the positive attitude that was demonstrated by the swimmers and all who planned and participated in this special event.  
 
On behalf of the Minnetonka Swim Club and the Anchor Club please accept our sincere thanks for such a significant show of support!  Together we are building an outstanding club.
 
Dave Scouler,
President, Minnetonka Anchor Club
