Lima #54 Creates a Splash with Swim Meet Sponsorship

The Lima Elks Lodge #54 sponsored the WOAL (Western Ohio Aquatic League) Championship Swim Meet on July 11th and 12th, at the Wapakoneta pool. Approximately 500 swimmers representing 8 swim teams from 4 counties participated in this event.

Winner who placed 7 th through 16 th 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 ER Jim Foust, Drew Laibe, PER Jim Plumb, Katie Wells 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.
