 Prizes
Twice during our swim-a-thon, we will find out how we are doing towards our$4500 goal and record it on our pledge thermometer in the office window by the girl’s locker room. Each time swimmers will write down the total amount of pledge dollars they have gathered on a slip of paper and put them into a collection box on deck. A couple of parent volunteers will separate the pledges into the four groups: Seniors, Juniors, Novice 1 and Novice 2. The group with the highest pledge total each of the two tally days (Oct 7th and 14th), will be rewarded the next practice with a fun day (Oct 8th) or ice cream social (Oct 15th).
 
We will also reward the prizes listed below to swimmers at the end of the Swim-a-thon, when all the pledges have been collected and the pledge packet and money have been turned into the Swim-a-thon committee. (last day to bring in money to get a prize is October 29th, by 6pm)
