As the pool marks its 50th anniversary, this year’s event, held under the banner “Team Ainsley” will bring members together on August 14th to swim in her honor while raising funds for the Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal, whose care played a critical role in Ainsley’s early life.

“Ainsley embodies everything our community stands for, courage, perseverance, and positivity,” said Chris Bedic, President, Kirkland Ecclestone Pool. “She inspires swimmers of all ages, and we are honored to celebrate her as part of this milestone year.”
