This year TP Night will be held at one of our Silver Sponsors, Pyramid Pizzeria & Sports Club, in an area reserved for the Sharks. Map for Pyramid can be found here. There will be pizza and soft drinks available for all Sharks families, compliments of the Parent Club. Alcoholic beverages or alternative food options will have to be purchased separately. Swimmers will be organized and deployed at approximately 6:00pm. Parents not actually driving routes are encouraged to stay and wait for groups to return.

During regular practice, on Monday, June 19th, swimmers will attempt to swim as many laps as they can to raise funds for team activities. NOTE: DUE TO TIME AND LANE CONSTRAINTS, A MAXIMUM 30 MINUTE TIME PERIOD PER SWIMMER HAS BEEN INSTITUTED I.E., AS MANY LAPS AS POSSIBLE IN 30 MINUTES Parents may attend to watch & cheer, but are not required to. Normal practice schedule applies, but swimmers are encouraged to attend the entire event to cheer on their teammates. Water, Gatorade, and of course, donuts, will be available, compliments of the Parent Club. Forms will be available at upcoming meets & may also be found for printing here (SwimathonForm1 & 2 pdfs). Swimmers will raise donations from friends & family per laps completed. Fixed donations are also acceptable, but not as much fun! Be sure to tell swimmers to estimate how many laps they can swim beforehand, so their sponsors can gauge an appropriate donation rate. Prizes will be given to swimmers who raise the most! Goodie bags for every participant! Sharks blankets to swimmers with the most laps for each Swimathon age group and gender! (6) $25 Gold Medal gift cards will be awarded to the girl and boy who raises the most ($50 minimum raised) in each of the following Swimathon age groups: 12 and under 13 & 14 15 and older Additional choice of giant shark plushy or shark pool toy and Dairy Queen coupon book to the Shark who raises the most! (For the purposes of this event, a "lap" counted will be 25yds, or once across the pool.) Get those sponsors and help pay for the Mid Season Event and the Water Park Trip!
