It's Lap-A-Thon week!! That's right, the Lap-a-thon will be held on June 27, 2024 from 8:30-10:30AM.

Please come out to the pool deck and join us in this super fun, family-friendly event. It is a great day to enjoy refreshments and have fun cheering on our swimmers while raising funds for the swim team. We have great prizes for swimmers who raise the most money and swim the most laps. We are asking each swimmer to sign up and participate in our LAP-A-THON by asking for pledges for each lap you swim or with a flat rate swim donation from friends and family. Pledge forms are attached to this email, located on our SwimTopia website, and will be available to grab from the BLUE BIN (same bin that ribbons are found). The 3 swimmers with the highest amount of pledges raised and turned in by July 8th will receive a prize:

• 1st Place - $75 Amazon gift card
• 2nd Place - $50 Amazon gift card
• 3rd Place - $25 Amazon gift card

The annual Lap-A-Thon is very important, as it raises money for our scholarship fund. Each year, HOST awards (two) $500 scholarships. These swimmers are nominated by our team members - more information on who is eligible, how to nominate, and how the recipients are chosen to come! All of the money for these scholarships comes directly from our Lap-A-Thon each year.

We would love for parent participation as well!! You can help count laps, set up refreshments, cheer on your swimmer, and please, please, please participate in the Parent/Coach vs Swimmer Relay Race - yes, that’s right… you can compete against your kids and create a fun core memory!! And don't forget to take a peak at the ADULT raffle table where you can try to go home with tickets for the Washington Nationals', Children's Museum of Richmond, VIR, Kings Dominion, and so much MORE!

A Lap-A-Thon informational letter is attached that will explain the event and process in a little more detail!
