SUMMARY:Open Water Swim for United Way
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 isn’t going to stop this annual tradition of swimming for United Way! \nSince 2001\, employees of the province of Nova Scotia have jumped into the Halifax Harbour to raise money and bring the community together for United Way. With the realities of COVID-19 we knew this event wouldn’t look the same as previous years. But\, that didn’t stop these dedicated and passionate swimmers from showing their local love! They’ve rallied together to organize swims across the province and continue to raise money for United Way. \nAlmost 60 swimmers will take to the waters at five locations around Nova Scotia between September 2-15. Not only will they be swimming an impressive distance of 1.5 km\, they continue to set the bar high for United Way fundraising events thanks to generous swim sponsors like you! \nCLICK HERE TO SPONSOR A SWIMMER TODAY. \n2020 Open Water Swim Locations & Dates: \n\nLake Charles\, Sept. 2 & 5\nChester\, Sept. 5\nLong Lake\, Sept. 5\nKearney Lake\, Sept. 7\nSydney\, Sept. 15\n\nInterested in swimming?\nPlease contact Mary Lou Burke:\nmarylou.burke@novascotia.ca
