Addison Thankswimming for Toys for Tots
Addison Park District Fitness Center
Start: 9:00 AM
End: 12:00 PM
(estimated)
The Sharks have an opportunity to get together in the off-season, raise our community profile, and raise money for a worthy cause! The Addison Park District is hosting a swimathon fundraiser for Toys for Tots, Sunday morning, November 19, at the Club Fitness indoor pool (click here for map/directions). The event is structured much like our own swimathon this past summer, with swimmers obtaining either per swim lap pledges, or flat donations. Unlike our event, however, persons of all ages are encouraged to participate, including parents! Event information and pledge forms may be found in links to the right or below this post. Please RSVP in the calendar if you would like to participate, so I can inform the park district and we can group all Sharks into the same "wave" timeslots. The event begins at 9:00 am, but specific timeslots will be given before the event. You must still independently register/sign up by calling Addison Parks Registration Desk at 630-233-7275 x6200, or by visiting the Addison Park District website here. See "Registration" in the upper left corner. The registration code for the event is 602811-25 Feel free to contact me for info, questions, or concerns: John Regan 630-454-1515 [email protected] Let's help make a Christmas a little brighter for those in need! |

Annual Water Park Trip
Hurricane Harbor
Start: 9:00 AM
End: 7:00 PM
(estimated)
The Sharks are bringing back the Frog's annual water park trip! Admission tickets for swimmers will be compliments of the Parent Club. Due to an unexpected jump in group ticket prices for whatever reason, the Parent Club will not be able to pay for admission for driver parents. Parents and siblings will need to purchase their own admission. You can Zelle Karyn Regan 630-453-1515 if you want to take advantage of our tiny group rate discount ($32 vs $35). It may be possible for the Parent Club to cover parking for drivers who transport two or more swimmers from other families. Please RSVP regardless of whether or not you choose to attend, and describe your family's situation on a survey found here, as to Six Flags passes/memberships and transportation. We don't want to order more tickets than we need, and if we distribute parking pass holders out wisely, we can cut down on costs significantly. Hurricane Harbor does not accept cash. If your swimmer is attending without access to a credit/debit card, there are cash to debit card kiosks available on site, or you can contact John Regan: [email protected] / 630-453-1515 to make other arrangements. We will meet at the pool at 9:30am, and leave no later than 10:00am. Park closes at 6:00pm so will return by approx. 7:00pm at the pool for those swimmers who need to be picked up. |
