SWIM-A-THONS, ineat sales, fruit sales, entertainment book sales and car washes transiate into an annual
operating budget of $90,060 to keep afloat the 11-year-old West Van Otters Swim Ciub. Some of the club
members (above) test the waters at 2 local pocl. Two swimmers, (left) hang tough poolside. The club provides a
recreational as well as competitive environment for young swimmers. Despite the time spent on social and
fund-raising activities, coaches Richard Gate, Ann Jones, K.C. Emerson and Danielle Russell have managed to
turn out a number of provincial and national champions. Included in this list of champs are Kathryn Pellett and
Claire Matthews, who are both current hotders of national times. Previous members of the Otters who hold
national times are Sara Frisby, Julie Lavender, Ian Hylands and Sandy Melody. Since its inception, club goals
have been to promote physical and psychological well-being, teach children organizational skills, create oppor-
tunities for the swimmers to travel and receive public recognition, and allow boys and giris to participate equally
in a team environment. For more information on the club, call Nan Pellett, president, at 926-3448.
