Swim-A-Thon Basic Information

1. What is a Swim‐A‐Thon®?

Swim‐a‐Thon® is a fundraiser in which participants earn money for their team by swimming

lengths of the pool. Swimmers have a two‐hour period to swim a maximum of 200 lengths.

Participants get pledges from businesses, family, neighbors, etc. prior to swimming. Some

choose to get pledges and money prior to swimming while others get pledges per length and

collect the money following the Swim‐a‐Thon®. With over 500 Swim‐a‐Thons® conducted each

year, this program has proven itself over and over again as a successful method of raising funds

for teams.
