Jan Morrow was a member of the Kelowna Masters Swim Club in the 1990′s who was actively involved with the club’s executive and as a regular masters swimmer. She was not a competitive swimmer, but loved to swim and successfully completed the Across the Lake Swim on a number of occasions. After she lost her battle with cancer, the Kelowna Masters Swim Club decided to name an annual award at the Across the Lake Swim in her memory, to be awarded to a swimmer who demonstrates determination, inspiration and a positive attitude within the swimming community.
Nominations are now being accepted for the 2013 Jan Morrow Award. To make a nomination, please email: racedirector@acrossthelakeswim.com. It is customary for the nominating person to present the award.
