Vicki Keith 's 24 anniversary of village 24 hour swim
On February 17, 1990 the (funny) crazy and the (good) insane Vicki Keith decided to for a little bite of a swim in the Variety village pool and by the time the young lady was done she hit 2772 walls and just kept going until 24 hours had been used up and it was February 18,1990 and she in the middle of the pool. The 2772 laps known Vicki that not a mistake because at some point she thought 70 km (ended up with a very impressive 69.31 KM) which would given a nice and tidy 28 hundred which most people my not do in their life time but near the end she probably motivated herself to get to a number that she can read backwards and forwards just like she has been motivating young people for decades and decades. Be it if u have a disability and u have a brother or sister without one why not swim together or in Vicki's style she will get u to try a few laps of her favorite stroke butterfly making flames fly and the more impressive penguins to fly when she moved from Toronto to Kingston in the early 2000s.
Her will power off a lot of young people who have reached goals they may of never could of imaged when they started swimming with Vicki and of course many doctors have been proven wrong by Vicki because through her swim program people who were told they would not be able to walk got so strong they were able to walk and through it all Robert has been that thorn just poking at her first at the village and now in Kingston.
Keep up the great work Vicki u r a guiding light for hundreds if not thousands of people
