Charity Swim
July 1 - July 25
We are excited to announce this season's upcoming Charity Swim Challenge that will not only encourage our kids to grow as swimmers, but also support a meaningful cause. From July 1st through July 25th, participating swimmers will commit to swimming 5 miles (or an individual goal set by the swimmer) as part of a collective effort to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.
What: Charity Swim Challenge
When: July 1 - July 25
Where: Country Pool Swim Practice
Why: To promote health, perseverance, and community service while raising money for the American Cancer Society.
Each participating swimmer must register with the American Cancer Society through one of the links below (through Facebook or GoFundMe) to collect donations from family, friends, and neighbors who wish to sponsor their efforts. Donations collected will go directly to the American Cancer Society (ACS) when you use the links below to set up the donation page. Check out the ACS FAQ page for more details.
We believe this is a wonderful opportunity for our swimmers to learn the value of goal setting, self-improvement, and giving back. Attendance will be taken at each practice, and we will post their swimming distances at the end of each week so that swimmers will know the progress they have made. With 18 practice days, that is about 20 laps per practice (25 yards per lap, from one end of the pool to the other). Some practices may be more or less than that based on the practice plan. Swimmers may swim on their own for additional laps (your own pool or the Country Pool for members).
Use one of the links below to set up your page (these are run by ACS). You can set a 5-mile goal or another goal that suits you. You can choose to collect a medal at the end of the challenge to commemorate your efforts.
Assist your child(ren) with requesting donations. Donations may be tax-deductible.
Celebrate their effort and accomplishment each week!
Let’s make a splash for a cause!
*This is an optional activity but we highly encourage every swimmer to participate for a good cause.
