Saturday, October 27
Two sessions:
10:00am – 12:00pm OR 12:00pm – 2:00pm

  • Sponsors can choose to give swimmers a lump sum, or a per-lap donation.

  • Each swimmer that raises at least $20 will be eligible for a Pizza Party that will be
    held immediately following their swim-a-thon session. The Pizza Party is for
    swimmers and their lap counters only.

  • Each swimmer will need to provide their own lap counter/timer (must be an adult).
    However, one adult may count laps for more than one child. Under no
    circumstances is a child allowed to be in the pool without a supervising adult.

  • Money raised through the swim-a-thon qualifies as part of the swim team
    fundraising fee ($100/family).

  6. A gift for every swimmer who participates (TBD).
  7. Any swimmer participating in the “Swim-A-Thon 5000 for Time” and meets
    the time standard for his/her age group will be listed on the USA Website.
    A poster of time standards and rules will be posted before the swim-a-thon.


  • We will need to have parents volunteer to help with the swim-a-thon. Help will be
    needed with set-up, check-in, door prizes, food service, clean-up, and “gopher”
    activities. A sign-up sheet will be available the week of October 22.

  • All swim-a-thon money will need to be turned in by November 9. Checks are
    payable to Euclid Marlins. Any money collected before the Swim-a-thon can be
    turned in to the Treasurer on October 27.

  • All funds raised will be applied to your family's fundraising goal.
