SWIM-A-THON Saturday, April 30TH

Swim-A-Thon is a National fundraising event offered by Swimming Canada.  This annual program is designed to raise funds which are used to help promote and finance amateur competitive swimming at ALL levels, from local to international.

Awards will be given out at our annual PGBSC Awards Banquet for all swimmers who complete a Mile Swim (1600m) in less than 25, 35, and 45 minutes.

Even if you don't want to participate in the fundraising option, your child WILL still be swimming in the event.

All swimmers MUST have a parent attending to record their child's times.

Swim-A-Thon packages were handed out by the coaches in February.  That package included Donation forms, Swim Family Affidavit, and a Remittance Envelope.  If you don't have your package please print out the forms located in the Parents Area of our website http://www.pgbsc.org/Fund_Raising.html .

Please ensure your Remittance Envelope includes the swimmer's name, a completed Donation form, and completed Swim Family Affidavit.

Saturday's Schedule

Parents/Timers meeting is at 7:30 am

Swimmers on deck 7:45 am

Swim-A-Thon starts at 8:00 am

There is a 2 hr time limit so everyone will be finished swimming by 10 am

We've already received one donation envelope without any paperwork or even the swimmers name on it to indicate who the donation is from. You will not received a fundraising levy credit, if your Remittance Envelope is incomplete.

Any questions regarding Swim-A-Thon, please contact the coaches or myself.
