HUMA SWIM A THON

We are excited to introduce a new and fun team event this season, a Swim-A-Thon!

A swim-a-thon is a fundraising event where swimmers challenge themselves to swim as many laps as possible within a set time — in our case, one hour. Leading up to the event, swimmers collect pledges or donations from family and friends to support their efforts. It’s a great way to build team spirit, encourage goal setting, and support our club all at once.

Our Swim-A-Thon will take place on June 3. For Development groups please come even if it is not your regular night for training. Please see the schedule below. 

To make things even more exciting, we will be offering prizes for:

• Most laps swam in one hour (per lane)
• Most money raised
• In addition, for every $10 collected, swimmers will earn one ticket to enter into our door prize draws, giving everyone lots of chances to win!

We encourage each swimmer to aim for $100 in pledges, though every dollar helps. These donations directly offset our operating costs, allowing us to keep registration fees as low as possible for everyone next season.  

REGISTRATION
