Polar Bear Swim

The Rotary Exchange Students took the plunge at Ness Lake on News Years Day in Ness Lake.

Our Exchange Student, Elyse Donck, was one of the students that took the dip, and Elyse said it was "So Cold" but a lot of fun.  She enjoyed the event very much although it was hard to believe they were actually going to jump in the frigid waters.

Elsyse swam the length of the pool carrying her Canadian Flag.  What an amazing young woman.  The students forgot to take towels, but were rescued by President Andrea, with blankets.

How many Rotary International Exchange students can put a "Polar Bear Swim" on their list of Memorabilia.

Congratulations Elyse, and thank you for being a Great Ambassador to the Rotary Youth Exchange Program.

Thank you President Andrea for being there for Elyse and the girls, after only a couple hours of sleep from our New Years Red Nose Program.
