The 5th Annual Memphremagog Winter Swim Festival was successfully held over the weekend in a two-lane, 25-meter pool cut in the ice in Lake Memphremagog in Newport Vermont [see aerial view on left].

Event director Phil White reported, “The water temperature was 31°F (-0.55°C). Saturday was sunny, windless with air temperatures in the 20°F’s to low 30°F’s. On Sunday, the water temperature was again 31°F.

But it was cloudy with winds from the south as the skies cleared a bit that turned to rain after the event was over.

On Saturday, Cathy Delneo led a tribute to Lynn Kubasek [who passed away on January 24th, see here]. Bill Shipp then provided each swimmer with a ribbon in tribute to a those who have battled or who are battling cancer. The ribbons were then tossed into the pool.”
