On Saturday, Oct. 28, the Cougar Aquatics (CAT) swim team will be hosting a beach clean-up at Hammonasset State Beach, as well as a food drive to benefit Helping Hands Food Pantry in Killingworth. The swim team is comprised of approximately 70 swimmers, ranging in age from 7 to seniors in high school. Many of the swimmers live in Haddam-Killingworth, but come from many towns around Connecticut. All CAT swimmers utilize the pool located at H-K High School.

At the event, taking place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., CAT swimmers, parents, and coaches will be joining in an effort to go out into the community and engage in attempts to help others and leave a positive imprint on the world. CAT swimmers will be easy to spot on the day of the clean-up in their “CAT in the Community” t-shirts.
