Meet James, Our 2025 Splash-A-Thon Ambassador!
Listen to an interview with our 2025 Splash-A-Thon Ambassador, James, his family, Executive Director Jenise Lucey, and our Adaptive Swim instructor Catherine Blake on WSBS!
1. What do you like about swimming at Berkshire South?
It’s fun! I like how my teacher plays “Name That Tune” with me! I love Catherine!
2. How does swimming make you feel?
Great! Full of glee and energetic.
3. Why do you participate in the Splash-A-Thon?
Because it is exciting to me! And I want the community center to have enough money to keep having swim lessons for everyone, forever.
How It Works
Anyone who would like to participate in the Splash-A-Thon is welcome and encouraged to join us! In addition to lap swimming, we are also offering a Happiness Hour Aqua-Aerobics class for a flat fee donation ($20 minimum). This class is open to all ages and will take place on Saturday, April 5th, 2025 at 10am.
Swimmers of all abilities are welcome to swim individually or as part of a relay team. Relay teams and individuals have up to two hours to swim up to 200 lengths of the pool. You do NOT have to use the full time or swim 200 lengths!
Relay teams generally include up to four people, though exceptions can be made for larger teams. Team members may swim individually or share a lane.
What To Bring
- Swimsuit and Towel
- Goggles and Swim cap (optional)
