Water Warriors is entirely funded by private donations, which covers the pool rental, snacks for swimmers, and back-up goggles and caps for swimmers who forget theirs.
Water Warriors generally costs between $2000 and $2500 to run each year.
(Transportation costs are covered by the METCO program.)
The program has been funded to date by private donations, contributions from family foundations (family of Coach Barry Schwartz, Gladys Avery Foundation, Floyd Family Foundation) and The Village Bank. Tax deductible donations to support this program on an ongoing basis can be mailed to Ed DeHoratius.

Any checks should be made out to Wayland High School with Water Warriors in the subject line.
Do you own a business (or know someone that does) and want to sponsor Water Warriors t-shirts?
In the 2023 session, for the first time (as a welcome back from our two-year COVID-hiatus), each participant received a Water Warriors t-shirt (see image at bottom of page). The generosity of WHSPO paid for the 2023 and 2026 t-shirts but we cannot rely on WHSPO to fund a recurring expense.
If you would like to sponsor a year's t-shirts, with your business name / logo featured below the Water Warriors logo, please be in touch with Ed DeHoratius at the contact info above. The cost generally maxes at or under $2000, but final cost will depend on the number of participants.
Please consider one or more of the following types of donations:
cash
Please make checks payable to Wayland High School with Water Warriors in the subject line and mail to Ed DeHoratius | Wayland High School | 264 Old Connecticut Path | Wayland, MA 01778.
equipment
We are happy to accept donations of new or still-functional-used goggles, swim caps, swim suits, and towels; swimmers are always forgetting them.
food / drink for swimmers (only in-session, between February break and Memorial Day); please be in touch before such donations so that I can schedule them / space them out: edmund_dehoratius@waylandps.org.
Swimmers get a snack and water at the end of each Water Warriors session.
