(From USA Swimming)
“Swim-a-Thonâ is a fundraiser in which participants earn money for their team by swimming lengths of the pool. Swimmers have a two-hour period to swim a maximum of 200 lengths. Participants get pledges from businesses, family, neighbors, etc. prior to swimming. Some choose to get pledges and money prior to swimming while others get pledges per length and collect the money following the Swim-a-Thonâ. With over 500 Swim-a-Thonsâ conducted each year, this program has proven itself over and over again as a successful method of raising funds for teams.”

Our annual Swim-a-Thon fundraiser event is scheduled for Sunday, November 16 at CORP pool. The event will be held from 8:00am to Noon. This will be a potluck event with lots of fun, food and prizes. Pledge packets will be distributed when it arrives and pledge targets will be determined as well. Our first annual swim-a-thon was held last November and we’ve successfully collected over $10,000!
Please mark your calendars for this event. More specific information will be provided soon.
Aloha,
