Get ready for some fun at our Annual Swim-a-Thon fundraiser on Tuesday, 7/9! Our wonderful Swim-a-thon chair Jonny has made fundraising easy - you can use the below link to share with friends and family:

Grand prizes are up for grabs! The swimmers who swim the most laps per age group will receive an award at the end of the Season, and the swimmer who raises the most money will win a personalized Encore parka!

We have a team goal to raise $6k, which is ~$50/swimmer, and we know we can get there! As a non-profit, the funds raised will be put towards our team. Examples of how we will use what is raised include the purchase of end of season awards, gifts for coaches, and team equipment upgrades (including our speaker system that we upgraded this year).

Event Details: Tues, 7/9

• 9-10: 30 laps
• 11-12: 35-40 laps

Set your lap goal on 99pledges, and we’ll have lap counters (parents) keeping track for each lane during the Swim-a-thon. We’ll have prizes for our participants, including if you hit your goal! The Encore record is 160 laps by Nathan Schader. Who’s going to beat it?
