swim-EAU-thon

By Bradley Turcotte • April 5, 2013 9:14 am EDT

There’s nothing like an early-morning dip to shake off your Friday-night hangover.

The third annual swim-EAU-thon is Saturday, April 6 at 8:30am.

Hosted by queer swim club the Ottawa Rideau Speedeaus, the event aims to enhance community involvement and raise funds for PTS and Le Bureau Régional d’Action SIDA (BRAS).

Attendees will plunge into a newly constructed saltwater pool at the Centre Aquatique Paul-Pelletier, which features six 25-metre-wide lanes. Timers and lap counters will be available.

To register, visit the Speedeaus’ official site and fill out the appropriate forms.
