Our annual Swim-A-Thon fundraiser is scheduled for this Friday, June 14th and we are so excited to couple it with ribbons and donuts during Fun Friday!

Below are the details and some important information for the event! If you have any questions once you have reviewed the info, please don't hesitate to reach out to me!

Attached is a pledge sheet for your swimmer to print out and track their pledges and donations! The funds earned by our swimmers will help to pay our amazing coaches for the hard work and dedication they gave put in to our Tiger Sharks over these busy summer weeks, our swimmer insurance fees through MSSL and our end of season team party! Top donation earners and lap swimmers from each age group will earn prizes and awards at the end of season party!

• The Tiger Sharks Swim-A-Thon is a fundraiser in which participants earn money for our swim team by swimming lengths of the pool. Swimmers have a 30 minute, 45 minute or 1 hour (depending on their age group) to swim as many lengths as they can. Participants get pledges from businesses, family, neighbors, etc. prior to swimming. Some sponsors choose to give a set amount of money (regardless of the number of lengths swum) while others get pledges per length and collect the money prior to the fundraiser.
• The Swim-a-thon will take place Friday, June 14th at the Lookout Canyon Swimming Pool from 7:00am to 10:00am. Ages 5-8 will be from 7:00-7:30am, ages 9-10 will be from 7:30-8:15am, ages 11-12 will be from 8:15-9:00am and ages 13+ will be from 9:00-10:00am. Multiple swimmers from the same family can attend the time of their own age group or the time of the practices they have been attending, it is up to them!
• Please do NOT bring any money to the pool at this time. When their time is finished each swimmer will be given an official sheet showing how many lengths he or she completed.
• Swimmers who are 8 years old and under may use kick boards during the Swim-a-thon. Swimmer who are 11+ will not be permitted the use of kick boards. Goggles & swim caps may be worn by any age swimmer.
