National Coach and Sharks Head Coach Ben Smith said, “The Bermuda Amateur Swimming Association’s 12 hour Swimathon is back and will take place on Saturday, May 11th from 6am – 6pm at the Saltus Pool. Swimmers are once again gearing up to raise funds for this worthwhile organization and are aiming to swim more than 150,000 meters in 12 hours!”
Smith continued, “In the past our swimmers have successfully raised funds (in two previous swim-a-thons) to resurface the Saltus Pool and conduct some much needed renovations to the facility.”
Proceeds from this year’s swimathon will go towards various BASA Programs.
Smith closed by saying, “We would love to have the support from the local community to assist us with the success of this fundraiser!”
