A swimming clinic will be held during practice this Friday, February 5, from 6 – 7:20 pm. Swimmers will move through four stations working on strokes, turns, and starts. This is a fantastic opportunity for your swimmer to develop their skills so don’t miss it!
The Lancers’ Annual Swim-A-Thon fundraiser kicks off Wednesday, February 3! Envelopes with instructions will be distributed before and after practice.
The actual Swim-a-Thon will be held on Wednesday, February 17 from 6-8 pm. Bronze and Silver swimmers will swim from 6 – 7 pm. Gold and Platinum swimmers will swim from 7 -8 pm.
Exactly what is a Swim-a-Thon? It’s a fundraiser in which participants earn money for their team by swimming lengths of the pool. Swimmers will have a one-hour period to swim. Participants get pledges from businesses, family, neighbors, etc. prior to swimming. Some choose to get pledges and money prior to swimming while others get pledges per length and collect the money following the Swim-a-Thon.
The Swim-a-Thon will provide funds which will enable our club to maintain its strong swimming program. Swim-a-Thons are conducted across the country by many of the more than 2,600 member clubs of USA Swimming. Our team will retain 95% of what we collect and send 5% or $12 per participant, whichever is less, to USA Swimming.
Prizes will be awarded to the top three fundraisers:
1st place: $30 gift certificate
2nd place: $20 gift certificate
3rd place: $15 gift certificate
In addition, every participant receives a certificate of participation. Every participant who completes 100 or 200 lengths receives a Swim-a-Thon pin. For every individual participant who earns $500 or more there is also a tiered award system thru USA Swimming.
$500-749.99 USA Swimming T-Shirt
$750-$999.99 USA Swimming towel
$1000 + USA Swimming bag
Please help us make this event a success! Be sure to pick up your information envelope on Wednesday night. And remember to mark February 17th on your calendar!
