Glacier Swim Club kicked off its annual fundraising event Aqualaps.

Over the next several weeks, GSC swimmers will be seeking pledge donations from family, friends, neighbors and community members. Swimmers will be collecting pledges at the Fred Meyer, Foodland IGA, Superbear and Merchant’s Wharf.

On May 11, GSC swimmers will come together for a lap day swimming event where each swimmer will swim between 75-300 laps, depending on age and ability, to meet their pledge responsibilities.
