Swim-A-Thon is a fundraiser used by USA Swimming clubs all over the United States to raise money for their respective club. Swimmers will receive pledges and donations from family members, friends, neighbors, and local businesses. FINS Swim Team retains 95% of all funds raised with the remaining 5% going to USA Swimming Foundation and their Swim Lesson Provider Grant Program that brings the gift of learning how to swim to kids across the country.

During Swim-A-Thon (SAT), swimmers are allowed to swim a maximum of 200 laps or for a period of 2 hours, whichever comes first, and you will be AMAZED at how many laps these young swimmers can swim when surrounded by their teammates all working toward the same goal! The SAT is not JUST a fundraiser or a time to “come swim laps”, this is a time to come together and celebrate FINS Swim Team and help secure future growth, service and success!

Fundraising is part of our overall budget that allows us to maintain our level of quality programming that we provide. Our priority is to keep membership dues low to make the sport of year round swimming more accessible. Dues alone will NEVER cover all costs associated with maintaining pools and running a high-quality swim program.  Funds raised by our swimmers will ensure we are able to meet those needs.

Success of the Swim-A-Thon allows us to meet our annual budget needs, make improvements to our swim programs, purchase equipment, assist in team travel trips, and provide our swimmers with fun team building opportunities in our community.  This fundraising event is vital to our organization both financially and as a team building event itself. We thank you for your Support!
