My Story…
I am swimming in support of the Ottawa Riverkeeper because I believe in the work it does to protect and preserve this magnificent river and all the creatures, human and animal, who live along its shores and swim in its waters.
I am also swimming in grateful memory of my swim coach, Tom Anzai, founder of this event and a great supporter of amateur swimmers like me.
Last but not least, I am swimming to mark turning sixty this year. Gulp. I won't be breaking any speed records...my goal is just to complete the 4K....before the event ends.
Thanks for reading. Wish me luck!
