COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. - For 12-year-old Betsy Barton, saving the Warren H. Daughtry Aquatic Center means a lot of laps.
On Sunday afternoon, Barton reached the bulkhead of the center’s pool, made a swift turn and was off for lap 102.
It’s part of a "lapathon" fundraising effort where swimmers collect pledges of donations for each lap Barton swims, and the aquatic center is relying on fundraising efforts to keep the pool and its programs afloat.
