  • DONATIONS
    • ​Every family has a minimum fundraising goal of $200, unless you bought out of the swim-a-thon fee on registration.
    • Donations can come in the form of sponsorships from friends/family or will be automatically charged to your Team Unify account in February.
    • Sponsors should donate a flat rate (instead of per length/lap) as hunting down each sponsor with final lap numbers and totals is too difficult. 
    • Donations can be made by check, cash, or venmo. If cash or check, please be sure to make note of which swimmer it is for in the memo section or in a labeled envelope. 
  • PRIZES
    • The top fundraiser in each training group (kraken, leviathan, etc.) will receive a team fleece blanket.
    • In the event of a tie, the prize will go to the swimmer with the higher number of donators. 
    • The grand prize for the highest amount donated will be a custom team parka!
    • The prize for the furthest distance swum (boy and girl) will be a custom ATLA water bottle.
    • If you use equipment you forfeit the furthest distance prize.
    • Donations are being taken starting December 22nd and will end on January 31st. That means you can still get some donations in after the swim-a-thon is over!
