That Dam Swim is an annual undertaking by Jim Cottam (and friends) to swim Lake Fontana in Western North Carolina to raise funds for a local charity, The Hope Chest for Women. The Hope Chest for Women provides financial assistance to women with cancer in the Asheville area. Each year, people donate money via Fundly to raise money for The Hope Chest and help Asheville area women. Jim’s wife, Debbie, is a breast cancer survivor, so he holds the cause very dear.
