The swim-a-thon was started as a fundraiser/social event for the swim team. It is a great opportunity for the kids to set goals, challenge themselves, and have a lot of fun while helping improve the pool!
Thursday, July 14, 2011
6:00 to 11:00 p.m.
Open to all members
How to Participate:
1. Sign-up at the pool
2. Get pledges
3. Go to the marathon, swim, swim, swim and have somebody count your laps
4. Turn in pledge sheet with number of laps and get tickets to be entered in prize
drawings.
Notes:
- Swimmers need to arrange for someone to count their laps (pool does not provide counters)
- Each swimmer needs at least $10 in pledges to be eligible for prizes.
- Ridgemoor will provide hot dogs for the swimmers; there will be a sign up sheet for people to bring chips, etc.
- Swimmers moving, so that everyone has a chance to swim -- sorry, but no bathroom breaks, no drinks and please don't ask every lap "How many laps did I swim?"
- Kids need to check in when they get there Thursday night and will swim in order of checking in.
This is the only fundraiser we do each year and with very generous support of our donors it has been quite successful. We have been able to do significant improvements to the pool—new slide, new diving board and new heater.
