Lake swim went swimmingly

On Aug. 29, we had 39 swimmers take part in the Whitefish Lake Swim. Many swimmers came from out of town, including Seattle and Bozeman, in order to swim in our beautiful lake. It was a complete success and we hope to build on it each year.

The event was put on by a group of Flathead Valley swimmers, but we could not have accomplished it without the help of our sponsors and volunteers. Thank you to the following individuals and companies: Bay Point on the Lake, Peak Orthopedics, Dermatology Associates, Sportsman & Ski Haus, Hammer Nutrition, Towne Printer, Rocky Mountain Images, Montana Coffee Traders, Montana Masters Swimming, Keifer, Point of Rocks, Rosario's, Whitefish Pottery, Whitefish Fire Department, Zach and Tom George, Andy, Megan and Madison Apple, Skip Sibson, Arline Machado, Sam and Isabelle Makman, Zac Parker, Mike Ruis, Shawn Baker, Connor Gray, Cameron Blake, Alice Ford, David Sobba, Carol Hopwood, Dena Foltz, Mistie Berus, Brian Campbell, Marian Stuart, Christya Izett, Bryan Schutt, Russell Mallams. Also thank you to all the participants who came out and braved the 65 degree water and had a great swim!
