| Summary: | "It was good," Hayley, 12, surmised nonplussed and looking like she'd just got back from a quick dip. "She was also the one that introduced the Red Cross water safety swimming lessons to our local children down at the beach front 60 years ago," OMS organizer and RDN aquatic programmer Anne Porteous said after. "It was a fantastic day -- I'd say top five for weather in the 11 years I've been doing it, and the bonus was it wasn't windy. It was just an all-round great day," she said, adding, "the spectators were wonderful ... it's just an excellent, fun family event that encourages active participation in our community, and I thought that was just awesome having 55 swimmers on the 55th year." |
