COOL swimmers

For Swim Across America, 2012 marks its 25th year in existance. [SAA] "is dedicated to raising money and awareness for cancer research, prevention and treatment through swimming-related events." The past 25 years have seen SAA's swimming events expand from one single event in Nantucket, MA to dozens of events that reach across the U.S. starting in New York to California. This year the organization looks to help people all over the country sponsor and hold their own pool swims. Over the past 25 years SAA has been able to raise over $40 million for cancer research, prevention, and treatment. The money has helped support institutes in Boston, NYC, Tampa, Dallas, and Oakland, CA to name a few. This year's events will bring together recreational swimmers to competive swimmers who have competed in the Olympics. Also, hundreds of volunteers will be giving their time to pursue a cure for cancer. Ranging in ages from 4 to 78, more than 4,000 swimmers will participate in these swim events across America. Remember, you don't have to be a swimmer to help "Make Wave to Fight Cancer" with Swim Across America. You can volunteer, donate money, or just cheer on a love one as he/she swims in an event. Here's to all the swimmer, volunteers, donators, and family and friends who help make Swim Across America a success every year-keep swimmming, stay positive, stay generous, and STAY COOL!
