Our swim-a-thon is one of our few fundraising events each year and it’s the big one with great prizes for participants! There are two parts: the fundraising, which starts now and the two hours/200 lengths swim, which is on 20 Apr.

Our goal is to raise $10,000. These funds will help cover the costs for our coaches to travel to out-of-town championship meets - such as Provincials in Victoria - as well as help offset our recent swim meet timing equipment purchase.

If each swimmer in our club raised just $100, we'd easily exceed our goal!

PRIZES – PRIZES – PRIZES

The halfway prize: whichever swimmer has raised the most money* by 22 Mar 2024 at 11:59pm will win a swimmer gift pack!

The big prizes: the top three swimmers who have raised the most money* by 19 Apr 2024 11:59pm will win:

  • 1st place: Beats Solo3 headphones
  • 2nd place: $150 in gift cards: Best Buy, Starbucks, and more!
  • 3rd place: Team Sungod prize pack with a hoodie, sweatpants, and stainless steel water bottle

The participant prizes: we’ll have several random prizes for swimmers who have raised over $250!

* If there’s a tie, we’ll flip a coin for the winner.

The swim-a-thon is on Saturday, April 20 from 6:30-9:00am at Sungod. Each swimmer will swim for two hours or 200 lengths (5 kilometers!) Younger swimmers can use a kickboard if/when needed. Each swimmer MUST have an adult (e.g. parent) present to count laps for them. We’ll provide counting sheets and coffee.

Our swim-a-thon starts right at 7:00am so, please arrive on deck at 6:30am. We will be running an activation and allowing swimmers and parents to get situated in their lanes. We’ll also provide a snack once you’re done and then award all the prizes!

See this document for information on how to sign-up for your fundraising page. This is optional to participate in the swim-a-thon but we really appreciate your help!

NOTE: If you created a fundraising page last year, you must unpublish that page and create a new one following the same instructions above. If you reuse your old page, it will count old donations and you won't be eligible for prizes.
