The Chautauqua Lake Yacht Club Junior Sailing Program had its annual Swim Across the Lake on July 10.

The swimmers jumped in the water at 7 a.m. The eight youngsters and three adults who participated were boated over to the opposite side of the lake across from the CLYC. Approximately a 1-mile swim, they each had a spotter on a kayak next to them. They could also choose to wear a life jacket or not. The first, second and third places received big jars of candy, everyone received a medal and they were greeted with Tim Hortons donuts, hot chocolate and Timbits after their swim.

Jack Webb finished first with a time of 35 minutes, 18 seconds. Arie Turner was second (36:08) and Charlie Webb finished third (36:10).

Following are the remaining swimmers and their times: Theodore Schaefer, 37:05; Nico Cesta, 46:23; Odin Luck, 1:05:12; Felicity Farris, 1:10:20; and Zelda Rosenberger, 2:09:34.

Following on his boat, along with many other boats and lifeguards, was Chautauqua County Sheriff’s deputy Greg Paterniti.

Starting at $3.50/week.
