A HUGE thank you to all of our sponsors this year!

Thank you to all the volunteers who turned out in force to ensure the MRS 2011 was such a great event for everyone involved! The Swim Team would also like to thank Prek Leap Agricultural College for once again hosting this annual event. The support and cooperation from the Director and his staff at the college has been much appreciated. We hope that we can continue this collaboration in 2012.

International SOS (corner of St. 51 & St. 228) who once again provided the medical team (paramedic, nurses & ambulance), without which this annual event would certainly not have been possible. Thanks to Ed, the International SOS nurses and Sue for supporting the MRS once again!

The Shop on St. 240 who provided nourishment post-swim for our intrepid Mekong River swimmers. Thank you for your continued support with the MRS and the sandwiches, Griet!

A new sponsor this year, but the plethora of much deserved pizza was certainly welcome by our winners! Luna d'autunno on St. 21 provided pizzas for all 1st & 2nd place swimmers in each of the under 18 age groups and for the 4 swimmers in the fastest team! Thank you Elain for donating these.

You will all have seen this amazing piece of artwork promoting the MRS 2011 on posters, in magazines and at the Swim on the t-shirts and banners. A highly talented local artist, Peap Tarr, is the person who created this logo. We really appreciate Peap creating and donating such an iconic image for the Mekong River Swim. As you will see from the post below in this blog, there is a limited edition run of white t-shirts now on sale at both iCAN and K'NYAY for only $8. Buy them for your family & friends before stocks sell out!

K'NYAY Khmer & Vegan Cuisine on St. 268, played a huge part in the run up to the MRS 2011, as they were one of the two registration points across the city. Not only did Run, Sern & their team at K'NYAY promote and register swimmers for the MRS 2011, they also turned out to volunteer as safety crew at the Swim last Sunday and they donated $100 worth of K'NYAY meal vouchers to 1st, 2nd & 3rd positions in both the mens and womens +18 years category. Great effort guys!

Last, and by no means least, a MASSIVE thanks to the team at iCAN British International School! After the cancellation of MRS 2010 due to a lack of volunteers, the Swim Team at iCAN offered to take over the organisation of this years MRS. It was a real team effort and over 50 of the iCAN staff and school community volunteered at the Swim on Sunday. iCAN was also the other registration point across the city and their organisation ensured that the event ran so smoothly. The Swim Team at iCAN have already met and begun to plan MRS 2012

... so keep Sunday 1st April 2012 free in your diaries!
