Hour of Power Relays

Carleton College swimmer, Ted Mullin died of a rare soft tissue disease called Sarcoma Cancer in 2006. His team-mates wanted to honor him and designed an event called, "Hour of Power Relays". Basically the swim team swims an hour in relay fashion. The goal is to swim each 50 in an all out sprint and also to make sure the lanes stay together.

This is our 5th year in a row that the Wells Swim Team has participated in this event. Every year we include the student body as well as faculty and staff. This year there were about 10 students, an athletic trainer, swim coach and the entire Wells Swim Team that participated in this event.

It is a tough event but it is a great way to not only bring the team together and get a great workout but it is for a better cause! We raised awareness and funds to go towards Cancer Research.

Leave it in the Pool!!!
