What is Swim-A-Thon?

The Swim-A-Thon is a fundraiser in which participants earn money for our swim team by swimming lengths of the pool. Prior to Swim-A-Thon, participants get pledges from businesses, family, neighbors, etc. Sponsors may choose to give a flat donation regardless of the number of lengths completed, while others may pledge a donation per length. On Swim-A-Thon day, participants have a designated time to swim as many lengths as they can to determine how much money they raise in pledges.

Why do we have Swim-A-Thon?

We love our Tiger Sharks and all the hard work that they put into making each season better than the last. Funds earned from Swim-A-Thon help us provide the following to the team:

• Pay or coaches: Our coaching staff work hard, both in the pool and out! They work tirelessly to teach skills, keep our swimmers safe in the pool, and set-up the meet entries each week.
• Invest in the team: While our POA gives us access to the pool and facilities each summer for practice and meets, we must provide the supplies and equipment we need that is specific to swim team use. This year, we are hoping to earn enough money to purchase new, heavy duty vinyl backstroke flags to replace our current fabric flags that have seen better days.
• Celebrate our swimmers: At the end of each summer we want to celebrate our hard work and successes with a fun end of season team party with prizes.

Collecting Pledges and Donations:

Pledge sheets are attached! 

Donations can be made in cash or check made out to Lookout Canyon Tiger Sharks.

You do not need to bring donations or pledge sheets to the pool on Swim-A-Thon day. Each swimmer will receive an official sheet showing how many lengths he or she completed, and will use this to tally and collect pledged donations.

All donations are due to Ashlie by Wednesday, June 25.

Volunteers Needed:

Volunteers are needed to help count each swimmer's lengths and fill out the official tally sheets. If you would like to volunteer, please log into Swimtopia and sign up! 

We look forward to a great Swim-A-Thon! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Go Tiger Sharks!
