What is the Swim-A-Thon?
The Swim-a-thon is a national event in which every USA swim club participates annually. It is a fundraiser to benefit all of our ABSC swim programs, and the participation of all ABSC swimmers helps insure reasonable quarterly dues. This is also a tremendous opportunity for team-building and promoting swimming at all levels. Our Swim-a-thon is usually held on a Sunday afternoon in late October or early November, and swimmers will receive a packet of information early in the Fall Quarter with more details. Please join us in helping your child reap the benefits of this endeavor. To participate in the Swim-a-thon, swimmers will seek pledges from friends and family for the number of laps they will swim during a maximum of two hours. For example, a pledge of $.10 per lap will amount to a donation of $20 if the swimmer completes 200 laps in the two-hour period allotted for the Swim-a-thon. A variety of prizes are awarded based on amount of pledge money collected. Business owners who would lik
