On Sunday, Jan. 29, during Day at the J, the Dwares Jewish Community Center held a swimming fundraiser. Participants raised money by swimming as many laps in the pool as they could during a one-hour timeframe. Swimmers ask family, friends and neighbors to pledge money per lap, or to make a flat donation. The 28 participants, ages 7-82, raised more than $3,300. All funds will go toward new anti-wave lane lines.
