Swim-A-Thon

Our third annual Swim-A-Thon is  FRIDAY, JUNE 21! This event is our team's most popular (and fun!) fundraisers and will offset registration fees, support and retain our coaches, and continue to invest in our facilities. It is a wonderful opportunity for your child to share their accomplishments with supportive friends and family.

WHAT:

·        Each practice group will be assigned a one-hour time block. Swimmers are encouraged, but not required, to stay and swim the entire time. The goal is to see how many laps they can swim in a one-hour period.

·        Parents or other volunteers are given counting sheets during the Swim-A-Thon so that laps can be counted. Swimmers will be encouraged to get sponsored “per lap” or a flat donation.

·        There will be snacks, music, and coaches cheering on your swimmers.

WHEN:  Friday, June 21st at our normally scheduled practice times!

HOW:

·      At the bottom of this page and via this link, you will find a pledge form that your child will use to track their pledges.  All pledges should be made by the morning of the Swim-A-Thon. Share the flyer on our social media to let others know that you are swimming, knock on your neighbors’ doors, and reach out to family members via email etc. 

·        After the Swim-A-Thon, collect your pledges/donations. When you turn in your money, add the name of your swimmer(s) to the memo, comments, or envelope along with the total EACH swimmer collected. Money can be collected by:

1.     Venmo:  @RaintreeRapids

2.     One check made payable to Raintree Swim Team

3.     Cash secured in a labeled envelope and given to Coach Cheslyn at practice no later than June 27th. 

INCENTIVES:

Awards will be given to those swimmers who swam the most laps in each age group and to the swimmer who collected the most money. Awards will be presented at the year-end banquet.
