Swim-A-Thon
Calling all Bullfrog Swimmers . . . the BWH tradition continues this year with our annual Swim-A-Thon to benefit Camp Sunshine this weekend! This is a fun team-building event for all ages and levels, including our youngest and newest swimmers. Here’s the scoop:
What is the Swim-A-Thon? A fun team-building event for ALL BWH Bullfrogs, including our youngest swimmers. Whether you swim 2 laps or 200 all are welcome! Swimmers solicit pledges (either per length of the pool or a flat amount) and then set a goal for how many lengths they will swim.
Who does it benefit? The Swim-A-Thon proceeds will be donated to Camp Sunshine to help support its awesome camps for children with cancer.
Where and when does it take place? This Saturday June 1st at the BWH pool from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. There will not be any regular swim practice that morning. We’ll have multiple swimmers in each lane (grouped by age/ability) and participants are encouraged to use fins and kickboards if necessary.
Who counts my lengths of the pool? Swim coaches and parents will be counting the lengths each swimmer completes and certifying the number on your form. Coach Tim is our master of ceremonies and will be manning the music and the microphone.
Will there be food and beverages? Of course! We will have Chick-fil-A biscuits, water and coffee for all participants (and parents).
Will there be prizes? Yes! Coach Tim will be our emcee for the day and will be awarding prizes. We’ll have prizes for the boy and girl who swim the most lengths as well as participation prizes and some swag to give away as well.
How much money should I ask for in donations? Ask friends and family to pledge an amount per length or make a flat contribution to Camp Sunshine. Either way, it is usually easier to set a goal and collect the money up front so you can bring it that morning. Please see attached pledge form!
What do I do with the money once I collect it? Please submit all money no later than June 18th- we have a Swim Meet that night so you could bring it then. Please make checks payable to Camp Sunshine and if you could write one check from all of your donations that would be GREAT!
