Tara & Jacqui - DVE Swimathon 2017
Donation protected
TARA and JACQUI have once again taken part in the annual DVE Swimathon. Tara has pushed herself hard and swum an amazing 50km. But whilst both her and Jacqui's achievemenets are remarkable, the Swimathon is a fundraising event and they need your help to reach their fundraising goals.
The DVE Swimathon is run by our swimming club and ran from 7pm on Friday 26 May 2017 to 7pm on Saturday 27 May 2017. All proceeds are shared between Berry Street , a local community charity that does amazing work supporting children and families (http://www.berrystreet.org.au /) and our club, DVE Aquatic ( http://dveaquatic.org.au/ ).
This year Tara swam an incredible 2000 laps and spent 15 hours in the water. That's 50km that she swum, beating her personal record set last year of 1700 laps (42.5km). During the night, Jacqui joined her in the water for a few hours to give her support.
PLEASE SPONSOR THEM (they will split your contributions between them based on the laps they each swum). When donating please include your name so that they can include your details on their sponsorship documentation.
Regardless of where you are in the world, please donate generously towards their fund raising effort. Every Dollar, Euro, Pound, Rand or any other currency, will make a difference.
This is the 5th year that Tara and Jacqui took part in the DVE Swimathon.
Tara's Achievements
2013 - 760 laps (19km)
2014 - 1020 laps (25.5km) and spent 11 hours in the water
2015 - 1400 laps (35km) and was in the water for a little under 12 hours - to put that in perspective, apparently the shortest route to swim across the English Channel is 33.8 km (21 miles) as the crow flies.
2016 - 1700 laps, in a little under 14 hours in the water. That's 42.5km, which is slightly more than a standard full marathon.
2017 - 2000 laps (50km) and was in the water for 15 hours.
