Monsignor Victor Masalles of the Archdiocese of Santo Domingo is inviting swimmers to take part in the annual swimathon on Saturday, 11-12 October 2014 at the Body Shop in Naco (Av. Fantino Falco) in Santo Domingo. Swimmers raising funds for the causes supported by the Monsignor should register at the club by 30 September 2014. The goal is to swim one million meters in the shortest time possible. Elianne Disla will have a lane to herself in her attempt to set a new long distance pool record for a woman. The swims will be around the clock. Masalles is a former Dominican national swimming team member. The event is also sponsored by Televida, the Catholic Church TV channel in the Dominican Republic.
