Yoshida first to swim 1,000 Icm

A University professor is the first to reach the 1,000 kilometre mark in the fitness swimming program sponsored by the Max Bell Regional Aquatic Centre. Philosophy Prof. Ron Yoshida completed length number 40,000 on Sept. 25, exactly 18 months after the incentive program for swimmers to record their daily laps began. Facilities Manager Brian Sullivan and Aquatic Programmer Val Kunimoto were there to congratulate Yoshida when he finished his swim and present him with a plaque and swim goggles. Recreation Services Coordinator Ken Olynyk presented Yoshida with a Rec Services cap as well. Yoshida says he swims 110 to 140 lengths a day, the equivalent of 2.8 to 3.6 kilometres. He generally swims five or six days a week. He started swimming competitively seven years ago when his children became involved in the local swim club. In addition to his own swimming workouts, he coaches the Lethbridge Masters Swim Club. About 200 swimmers participate in the fitness program at the Max Bell which offers crests, goggles, t-shirts and pins as certain distance plateaus are reached. Kunimoto says about half of those are from the community while University students and staff make up the other half. The total kilometres of each participant are posted and updated monthly.

Brian Sullivan congratulates Ron Yoshida as the first swimmer to complete 1,000 km in the Max Bell Kunimoto says Darryl Eby is next in line to reach 1,000 kilometres. Eby swims Regional Aquatic Centre. A Horrocks about two kilometres a day, five days a week and has a current total of 818 kilometres.
