Swim-A-Thon Overview
- How it works:
1. Collect
Addresses: Start collecting your list of people you will ask to be a sponsor.
Bring your list of names and addresses to the letter writing party or start
addressing letters on your own right now.
2. Attend
Swim-A-Thon Letter Writing Kick Off Party:
3. Write Sponsor
Letters: King Aquatic Club will supply the Swim-A-Thon form letters that the
swimmer completes with the name of the potential sponsor and the name of the
swimmer. King Aquatic Club will also provide two envelopes: a mailing envelope,
which the swimmer addresses to the sponsor; and a return envelope pre-addressed
to King Aquatic Club. The form letter is also available at the King Aquatic
Club Swim-A-Thon webpage. At the Letter Writing Party, King Aquatic Club will
provide postage for mailing the sponsor letters. After the letter writing
party, swimmers must provide the postage. But, keep writing sponsor letters
until the Swim-A-Thon swim!
4. Email: You can
also use email to send requests to sponsors. Just download the Sponsor Letter
(PDF version) from the Swim-A-Thon section in the King Aquatic Club website and
attach the PDF file with your email to your sponsor.
5. Pick up a
Swim-A-Thon pledge packet from your pool representative. Start collecting
pledges from your neighbors, teachers, and businesses. Even if you mailed the
pledge letter, you can also earn additional pledges from potential sponsors who
you do not have addresses for. All you need to do is go up to someone ask if
they will sponsor you for this years Swim-A-Thon.
