Our Annual Spring Fundraiser is coming up! The SWIM-A-THON is a USA Swimming sponsored fundraiser that helps benefit our program. Fundraisers are a vital part of the swim team operation, they keep our dues low, buy new equipment, provide for activities and motivation awards, competition travel for coaches, and keep our team financially healthy. This event is fun for our swimmers - they are tasked to show off their endurance and attempt to swim for 200 lengths or 2 hours, whichever comes first! This year we will be running a 2-hourformat, swimming from 7-9AM or 9AM-11AM on Saturday, May 13th. Please arrive at the pool at least 15 minutes before your scheduled session. (A sign up link will be sent out at a later date).
LAP COUNTERS REQUIRED
All swimmers will need to have their own “coach” (a parent or relative to count their laps and cheer them on). We will provide chairs and pen and paper to write on. Some clipboards will be available, but please bring your own, if you have one. Please make sure your swimmer comes prepared with extra goggles, caps, and full water bottles. If no parent is available to be your swimmer’s coach for the SWIM-A-THON, please prearrange with another parent or let Coach Jessie know in advance. We will accommodate.
INDIVIDUAL GOAL
We hope all swimmers strive to collect at least $300.
TEAM GOAL
Our team goal for fundraising is $35,000 in pledges/donations. To achieve this, we will need all
members to work hard at collecting pledges.
If we achieve this goal the team will be able to push their coaches into the pool. (Yes, you read that right).
INDIVIDUAL AWARDS
All swimmers participating in the SWIM-A-THON will be provided breakfast after they swim on the day of the event.
There will be FIVE GRAND PRIZES. The top fundraiser will have 1st pick on prizes and so on down the list. Prizes will include Salt & Straw gift card, target gift card, arena bag, amazon gift card, and airpods! Gift card amount will depend on what place the swimmer came in. ALL grand prize winners will also win a 30 minute private lesson with their Coach of choice. Once a Coach has been chosen, the next winner will have to choose a different coach.
USA Swimming also provides some prizes for multiple accomplishments!

PLEDGES AND SWIMMING
All swimmers can get pledges per lengths swam (example: $.10 x 200 lengths= $20) or flat donations. The swimmers will be encouraged to swim as much as possible in the 2 hour time
period (please note novice, pre-performance, D1 swimmers will swim less than the 2 hours per their
personal endurance and coaches advice). We would like for these swimmers to aim to swim 1 hour. The swimming does not have to be continuous. It is all up to the swimmer and how much they want to swim.
MEMBERSHIP FUNDRAISING
