    2024 Sharks Swimathon
    The Beach Waterpark Wood Dale
    Start: 8:00 AM
    End: 10:00 AM (estimated)

    SWIMATHON WAS CHANGED TO JULY 26TH. If you signed up for a job/role on the 19th, and cannot make it on the 26th, please email [email protected] or contact either of those creepy Regans.

    On Wednesday, June 26th, at 8:00am, 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 (2024 Swimathon 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!

    (6) TBD 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

    Other TBD prizes as well, but roughly equivalent to 10% of funds raised

    (For the purposes of this event, a "lap" counted will be 25yds, or once across the pool)

    Due to the elimination of the Parent Club $50 FUNd fee, it is necessary for the Swimathon to be able to fund approximately 66% of all of 2024 expenditures, including social events, awards, the water park trip, and our new scholarships. In order to prevent the $50 fee from returning, it is imperative that every Shark participates. Good luck, get those sponsors and GO SHARKS!
