How It Works
Anyone who would like to participate in the Swim-A-Thon is welcome and encouraged to join us. We will offer ONE water-based class as a substitute for lap swimming: Saturday, March 19thth 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)
- Bottle of Water (no glass bottles please)
- Completed pledge form and donations that you have collected
- A friend to cheer you on and count your laps!
