Fund Raising Information > Swim-A-Thon
Euclid Marlins Swim-a-thon 2010

Friday, October 1

5:30pm - 7:30pm

  • In 2010, the Swim-A-Thon raised $350.00 for our team.  Most families were able to
    eliminate the February dues for at least one swimmer.  Several swimmer
    eliminated a good portion of their January dues too..

  • The pledges are due by two weeks after the event is held.

  • he team will provide snacks for the swimmers after they are finished swimming.

  • The coaches will be counting laps while the parents socialize and possibly have a
    short parent's meeting.

  • Money raised through the swim-a-thon will be used to reduce a swimmer's
    monthly dues.  %50 of the funds collected will be applied towards their dues, with
    thier February dues being reduced first.  For example, if the swimmer raised
    $90.00 and was a Euclid Resident, then they would owe no dues for February.  If
    they were a Non-Euclid Resident, then they would owe only $10.00 for February.

  • Prizes will be awarded:

  1. Certificate for every Swimmer from USA Swimming.
  2. Swimming more than 100 laps: pin from USA Swimming.
  3. Swimming 200 laps: pin from USA Swimming.

  • 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 two weeks before the event.

  • All swim-a-thon money will need to be turned in by October 15.  Checks are
    payable to Euclid Marlins. Any money collected before the Swim-a-thon can be
    turned in to the Treasurer on the day of the Swim-A-Thon.

  • We may also have music, etc. or a theme for the Swim-A-Thon.  Stay tuned for
    further details.
