This event is a fun-filled, in-pool, fundraiser where swimmers earn money for TSC by swimming lengths of the pool while accomplishing their goal in terms of kilometres swam.


Each swimmer will have the option to raise money and win prizes (both as an individual and as a group) to support their individual swimming achievement (kilometres swam). Money raised goes back to TSC which will help to subsidize coach education, team travel, purchasing pool equipment, as well as to support various club-led initiatives such as professional speakers and sport nutrition education.


SIGN UP today and start raising money on March 1, 2023!


This year, the on-line platform is all individually created. Please follow the easy steps below to register yourself or your swimmer.

Clubs will continue to receive a grant for 90% of the gross amount raised through Swim-a-Thon. After reviewing prior Swim-a-Thon programs without charitable tax receipts, we [Swimming Canada] will continue this model for the 2023 Swim-a-Thon. Our swim clubs have shown that the program can continue to be successful while not putting Swimming Canada’s charitable status at risk.
