Lima Elks #54 Hosts WOAL Championship Swim Meet

The Lima Elks Lodge #54 sponsored the WOAL (Western Ohio Aquatic League) Championship Swim Meet at the Bluffton pool. Over 500 swimmers representing 8 swim teams from 4 counties participated in this event.

Winner who placed 7th through 16th received ribbons. Elks members presented medallions to the top six winners of each event. In addition, the 1st place winner for each individual and relay event received a t-shirt.

Thanks go to Becky Butterfield, Scott Few, ER Jim Foust, PER Jim Plumb and PER Jean Zink from Lima Lodge #54 for their assistance with this event.

This event was started by Lima Lodge #54 ~50 years ago. It grew so large so quickly that we partnered with the WOAL. This event is the capstone event of the summer swimming season and is now known as the Elks Invitational Swim Meet and WOAL Championships.
