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. She was also the Race Director of the event in 1991.
After she lost her battle with cancer, the Kelowna Masters Swim Club decided to name an annual award at the Interior Savings 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.
