Members of the St. Paul Barracudas swim club swam an impressive 3,827 laps on Thursday afternoon, which equals 97 km, completed by just 40 kids.
The annual swim-a-thon raises funds for the club, and challenges young athletes to complete as many laps as they can within two hours.
Even the youngest swimmers, who were barely school-aged, offered some impressive performances. The older, more experienced swimmers completed up to 200 laps in the two-hour time frame.
According to results from the event, Catianna Culham, Alex Ryning, and Ashlynn Trefenanko all managed to hit the 200-lap mark on Thursday.
A number of other club members broke the 100-mark, including the following:
Nick Bromberger – 120
Kayley Hannin – 130
Eve Michaud – 118
Kori Kozicki – 130
Marla Sachko – 140
Grace Burton – 130
Morgan Nickel – 196
Lizzy Nickel – 110
Kaydence Hunter – 146
Alexa Labrie – 104
Trish Labrie – 104
Katie Ryning – 114
Laura Ryning – 108
Shawn Lysons – 144
Savannah Fontaine – 102
