HypoActive

2010 saw the fourth HypoActive MS MegaSwim team take to the water. Dubbed the 'Stingrays' the team stuck it out despite being down 3 swimmers due to injury!

Approaching lightning saw the pool evacuated for 20 minutes in the early hours of Saturday morning - many swimmers being glad of the reprieve. Once the danger had passed the swim recommenced and our intrepid team continued to smash out the laps.

This is a bit of a guide for those participating in the MegaSwim for the first time – you know that there are 15 swimmers completing a relay over 24 hours, and that you need to get sponsors for the event and the proceeds go to the MS Society Go for Gold Scholarship program. But what else should you expect?

Friday night, Feb 13 2009 saw the third, and strongest HypoActive MegaSwim hit the pool to try and surpass previous years efforts. Armed with the funkiest towels ever seen and baked goods galore 15 swimmers and 3 support crew swam and counted laps for 24 hours.

The MS Mega Swim is a 24 hour swim relay which kicks off the HypoActive calendar each year. What better way to work off those extra Christmas kilojoules and fulfil your New Years Resolutions than to join us in the pool for a splash!

The 24 Hour Mega Swim is a fun team event comprising of no more than 15 swimmers. Each team must have one swimmer in the water for the entire 24 hours.
