Dam, it's exciting!

The Midmar Mile, an annual swimming event held at Midmar Dam in Howick, South Africa is in its 37th year and has attracted over 17000 annual entries over the last few years. In September 2009, the Guinness Book of Records officially recognised the Midmar Mile as the world’s largest open water swimming event with 13 755 finishers.


USN was one of the main sponsors and Expand a Sign Feather Banners were proudly displayed at the finish line, where thousands of exhausted swimmers were presented with their medal and sports drink.
All conditions were ideal on Saturday the 13th February, as the Expand a Sign swimmers braved the water and fought the masses to eventually secure 38th position out of more than 400 company teams.

Enjoying a barbeque, family and friends watched as the gun went off and proudly welcomed their soaked sporting heroes back to solid ground and a dry towel.

Expand a Sign Flying Banners, Folding A-Frames, Ex-Domes and many more were displayed by take-away vendors, small businesses and international companies alike.



So - are you joining us next year?!

Cheers,
The EAS team.
