New Year’s Day Swim Challenge at KRMC’s Wellness Center Talk about bringing in the New Year with a splash! Swimmers raised over $2,000 for swim lesson scholarships to benefit kids whose families may not otherwise be able to afford lessons. Ten year old Jacob Miyauchi and eight year old Brady Cowin swam for the entire 2 ½ hour event, achieving distances of 8,700 and 5,500 yards, respectively. Also, Anna Shuffler and Leah Phillips partnered to swim for 2 ½ hours, traveling 7,700 yards (combined). Event organizer and Wellness Center’s Aquatics Manager Russ
Eidman achieved his goal of swimming over 10,000 yards. Russ, an
accomplished aquatic’s trainer who moved to Kingman in 2007,
hopes to make the New Year’s Swim Challenge a tradition at
the Wellness Center. For more information on the Wellness Center’s
Aquatics events and programs, call 692-4606.
