Waterloo Swim-A-Thon Fundraising Event

Dear ROW swimmers and parents

The yearly Swim-A-Thon will be held on Saturday, March 28th. The Swim-A-Thon is a very important fundraiser for our club. Last year we raised $13,000. This year we want to set our goal at $25,000.

This year the swim groups will compete against each other by raising the most money per group. We are setting the minimum amount at $150 per swimmer. Depending on the number of swimmers, each group will set a goal ($$).

To keep everyone informed on how the groups are doing, we will have images of thermometers per group at the pool to keep everyone updated. At practice, swimmers and parents can check their group’s status. In the blink of an eye, we will know how we’re doing or if we need to work a little harder to achieve our goal.

As an incentive, the group who raises the most money will get a group prize. It will be a group outing - most likely to be held in the spring, details to be finalized.

After the Swim-A-Thon, a breakfast will be served.

Parallel to the Swim-A-Thon, we want to challenge our swimmers to design a swim cap. In the next coming days, the website will have the information for the swimmers to get involved with that. Each swimmer who raises their minimum of $150 will receive a newly designed swim cap. You wouldn’t want to be the only swimmer in the water without a new cap

At the moment, we are finalizing the Swim-A-Thon software to make it possible to receive online donations. It is as easy as sending out a couple of emails to family and friends. All the information will be available on the website the first week of March.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support.

The Swim-A-Thon team
