The parents of the NOHS Swim Team held their First Annual Open Water Swim fundraiser on August 22, 2009, in the Ohio River. The event was sanctioned by the USA Triathalon, USA Swimming, and Masters Swimming associations. There were over 80 participants, ranging in age from 11 to 55.
In the half mile event, the winner was Sydney Bratcher (age 13, female). NOHS' own Mark Scherer (age 12, male) came in 4th, and Clayton Helsey (age 13, male) came in 5th. In the 1.2 miie course, Clark Burckle (age 21, male) was the overall winner. In the 2.4 mile course, Ben Grimes (age 16, male) was the winner.
