Clinton News-Record, 1987-02-11, Page 15CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 11, 1987—Page 15 Sports Heart swim Did you ever wonder just what kind of shape you're really in? Now could be the - time to find out, and at the same time make a contribution to a worthy cause. During the month of February, the Vanastra Recreation Centre is playing host to the Sixth Annual Heart Fitness Swim. In support of the Heart and Stroke Foun- dation of Ontario, the event is sponsored by Masters Swimming Ontario and Leader Sports Products. "Any person of any age can come into the pool anytime in February, and the idea is to swim as far as you can in half an hour and compare it with someone of the same sex and age," Vanastra Recreation Direc- tor Diane Durnin explained. For those 20 years of age and over the cost to enter is $10, and the cost is $5 for those 19 -years -old and under. Of this money, $2 goes towards covering the costs of promotion, and the remaining funds go the the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Swimmers will also have to pay their ad- mittance fee to get into the pool, but Mrs. Durnin noted that this really wouldn't be a problem because many of the people that participate have memberships for the centre. Anybody wishing to try the swim can pick any recreational swim time to give it a shot. Mrs. Durnin said the most popular times are lunch hour for adults, and the length swim time on Friday evenings from 5-6 p.m. Unfortunately, the event has not been overly successful in Vanastra in past years as it has run with anywhere from half a dozen to a dozen swimmers taking part. However, Mrs. Durnin expects better things for this year. "I think it will be more popular. As a group, the life guards will take a night and do this." It is not necessary to bring your own counter or timer to the,pool, she said. "You can keep track of your own, or any of my guards would probably be happy to count. We're more than willing to help out here." She stressed that this fund raising effort is not a competition, but more for the par- ticipant' personal achievement. I wanted to know, though, what kind of numbers local swimmers can run up. "My top swimmer just did his, and he . did 70 lengths in half an hour. As I said before, this is not a competition; somebody else might do 15 or 20. The average swimmer, someone who swims regularly, might do around 40, I would think," said Mrs. Durnin. Once the participants have completed their swims, they will be sent a computer print-out from Masters that will tell them their standings, as well as a bathing cap sponsored by Leader. A nice certificate from the Heart and Stroke Foundation say- ing they have participated will also be in- cluded in the package. Anyone interested can pick up entry forms at the pool. Once the forms are filled out the participants can send them in themselves, or take them to the recreation centre where they will be sent in a group at the end of the month. They must be com- pleted by February 28°' "Anyone who wishes can come out, they are more than welcome. We have the forms and we're more than willing .to help out," concluded Mrs. Durnin. If you would like any more information on this event you can reach the recreation centre at 482-3544.
