Gliders Swim-A-Thon Reminders

We’re excited to see how many laps our Gliders can swim on Tuesday! Here’s a few reminders:

How it works: Swimmers will earn money for the Gliders by swimming lengths of the pool (up to 200 laps). Whether they swim 2 laps or 200 laps, ... (That's 2.84 miles in case you were wondering!)

Swimmers can raise donations through sponsors, family, friends, and neighbors prior to swimming. Donations can be a flat donation amount or per lap swum. Example: Granny can donate $25 towards a goal and/or Pap can donate $1 per lap. Donation sheet is attached, or you can pick one up at practice on Monday.

Swimmers may swim any stroke (legal or not), use a kickboard, or even doggy paddle – complete laps in any style!

Start Times: We’ll have a rolling start and finish based on age. When your swimmers arrive, they can hop in the pool and start swimming laps. When they’re done, they hop out, have their name announced and then go enjoy pancakes with extra fun toppings!

• 8 and under: start time 8:00 am
• Ages 9 - 12: start time 8:30 am
• Ages 13 and up: start time 9:15 am

Prizes: There will be prizes in each age group for the swimmer who swims the most laps and for the swimmer who raises the most money. Donations are due by June 30, so winners will be announced at the last Gliders home meet on July 8th.

Why we’re doing this: Money raised will help fund a new lane line reel, kickboards, and other resources requested by the coaches!
