What Is 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. Swim-a-Thon is the only pledge-for-length swimming program recognized by USA swimming. 5% of the money will go back to USA Swimming to help with their programs and with our elite athletes.
Why support this swimmer?
Thousands of Americans of all ages are engaged in swimming. The money this swimmer raises will support crucial programs for his or her swim team, and will allow the entire team to continue working hard for the coming season.
In addition to raising funds for the local swim team/club, 5% of the money this swimmer raises will go back to the USA Swimming Foundation. The Foundation works to strengthen the sport of swimming by saving lives and building champions—in the pool and in life. Whether they’re equipping children across the country with the life-saving skill of learn-to-swim through their Make a Splash initiative, or providing financial support to heroes on the U.S. National Team, the USA Swimming Foundation aim to provide the wonderful experience of swimming to kids at all levels across the country.
