Dear Barracuda Swimmers and Parents,

On Monday, July 2nd, we will have one of our largest annual team fundraisers in the form of a Swimathon!  Swimmers collect pledges per lap (or flat rate donations), then challenge themselves to swim as many laps as possible to meet personal* and practice group lap goals.  Attached you will find the swimathon pledge sheet to help swimmers keep track of their fundraising and personal goal.

There will be free Gatorade and prizewinning opportunities for swimming, and meeting personal and group lap goals.  End-of-season prizes for the highest dollar earners and the most distance swum for each practice group will also be awarded.

Practice Group lap goals are as follows:

Sharks (12-18 years) – 210 laps

Dolphins (9-12 years) – 150 laps

Minnows (6-9 years) – 50 laps

Tadpoles (4-5 years) – 10 laps

We rely on parent volunteers to help with encouragement and lap counting. This is a lot of fun!If you haven’t already, please sign-up via the swimathon event on the team’s website.

This is a great opportunity for kids to tell friends, family and neighbors about our amazing team as they ask for their support in this fundraising endeavor.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have or talk to me at the meet on Tuesday.  We look forward to seeing you at the swimathon!

Regards,

Linden Nowak

Swimathon Coordinator

*Parents, please help your younger children set reasonable yet challenging personal goals for themselves ahead of the swimathon.
