2nd Annual Swim-a-Thon
November 5th
Our second swim-a-thon will take place on November. Attached are the flyers and pledge sheet that each swimmer will receive at practice tonight & tomorrow.
How it will work:
- Each swimmer will choose a day that they will swim. All swimmers are EXPECTED to take part..
- Before they swim: Swimmers can go around and gather pledges from friends, family, family co-workers, teachers, etc. This can be done per lap or a lump sum.
- Per lap: Sponsors pay per lap that is swam. it can be as low as .01 or as much as they want per lap. (see Pledge Per Lap handout)
- Lump Sum: Sponsors pay a flat rate like $5, $10, $20, etc.
- Before they swim: Swimmers can go around and gather pledges from friends, family, family co-workers, teachers, etc. This can be done per lap or a lump sum.
- During the swim: Swimmers come to their chosen day with snack, water, gatorade, and gear. They swim as many laps as they can during their hour.
- Breaks are allowed but should be monitored and kept short.
- Free, Breast, and Back, or crawl can be used. I do not recommend fly.
- A counter (of your choice - friend, family, etc) will check off each lap you complete. At the end of your hour we will count up laps, and record so you can go and gather your $$.
- After the swim: Swimmers will have until November 22nd, to turn in money raised. ONE FINAL PAYMENT SHOULD BE MADE.
- Final Money is to be turned in by check, a Team Pay App to Coach G or the Booster Members.
- Money raised should match what is on Pledge sheet.
Prizes: Prizes will be ordered when money is turned in and distributed as soon as we can. There are a lot of amazing prizes per swimmer including registration for next year.
- A swimmer can earn giftcards, water bottle, headphones, and registration for next year (seniors get a giftcard that equates registration).
- Levels build
- so if a swimmer earns level 3 prizes, they also get Level 2 & 1.
If you have any questions please let me know.
This should be 100% participation by ALL swimmers/divers.
Money from this will go towards all our fees, EOS banquet, senior gifts, Fees for next year (as they rise), etc.
A portion of this fundraiser will go to the Calvery Children's home in Powder Springs.
