Way to go Hanna!

On July 30, 2026 a total of 2532 lengths were completed in memory of Garth Hanlon, an avid swimmer and active member of the community. That is 472 more lengths than last year. 1500 of these were swam by the Hanna Seals.

Garth’s passion for swimming lives on through his six grandchildren, all of whom have been members of the Hanna Seals Swim Club, three of whom have won provincial medals and two of them have brought home gold over the years. Four of his grandchildren have also followed in his footsteps, becoming lifeguards at the Hanna pool. Garth would have been immensely proud of each of them.

The Hanlon family extends a sincere thank you to the community for honoring Garth’s memory by participating in the memorial swim challenge each year!
