We are bringing back our annual swim-a-thon! This is one of our few fundraising events each year and it’s the big one with great prizes for participants! There are two parts: the fundraising, which starts now and the two hours/200 lengths swim, which is on 22 Apr.
Our goal is to raise $12,000. These funds will help cover the costs for our coaches to travel to out-of-town championship meets - such as Provincials in Victoria - as well as help offset our recent swim meet timing equipment purchase.
If each swimmer in our club raised just $100, we'd easily exceed our goal!
PRIZES – PRIZES – PRIZES
The halfway prize: whichever swimmer has raised the most money* by 24 Mar 2023 at 11:59pm will win a swimmer gift pack!
The big prize: whichever swimmer has raised the most money* by 21 Apr 2023 11:59pm will win an iPad!
The participant prizes: we’ll have several random prizes for swimmers who have raised over $250, including an Apple gift card, Swimming Canada goodies, and more!
* If there’s a tie, we’ll flip a coin for the winner.
The swim-a-thon is on Saturday, April 22 from 6:30-9:00am at Sungod. Each swimmer will swim for two hours or 200 lengths (5 kilometers!) Younger swimmers can use a kickboard if/when needed. Each swimmer MUST have an adult (e.g. parent) present to count laps for them. We’ll provide counting sheets and coffee.
Our swim-a-thon starts right at 7:00am so, please arrive on deck at 6:30am. We will be running an activation and allowing swimmers and parents to get situated in their lanes. We’ll also provide a snack once you’re done and then award all the prizes!
