6th Annual MUMS Swimathon

The McGill University Master Swimmers (MUMS) held their 6th annual Swimathon benefitting Cancer Care at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) on Saturday 2 May at McGill’s Memorial Pool. From cancer survivors to MUHC professionals to Iron Man athletes, every one was there for a great time and a great cause.

With a dozen swimmers in the 25m pool, the morning was busy and full of fun and friendly competition. The fastest swim time was 1 hour and 17 minutes,but even the “turtle” swimmers were pleased with their times and proud to have completed the challenging swim. This year’s Swim-a-Thon raised over $2,300 for oncology at the MUHC. To date, MUMS has raised well over $18,000 for cancer care at the MUHC and hopes to raise even more in the coming years.
