Active participation of sports school and club students in the SWIM project challenge

strava clubWe are very happy about the activity of children and young people of sports schools and clubs of Latvia in the challenge/remote competition "Walk&Hike&Run in #SWIMproject". Currently the most dedicated participant has already covered more than 90 km, while all the athletes on the leaderboard have "accumulated" several tens of kilometers. The challenge will end at the end of this week, so stay active and persistent as Garmin Instinct 2 Solar smartwatches will be won not only by the participant who completes the most km, but also by two lucky winners who accumulate at least 15 km during the week.
