Every time a swim is com-
plete, the passport (which
includes three free swim ses-
sions) is stamped.

When completed, partici
pants pick up their reward and
enter to win a grand prize, to
be drawn by Coho mascot
Alevin, at the Coho Festival
Family Day on Sept. 10.

The grand. prize is an
annual kid’s membership at
