Swim-A-Thon fundraiser
Hello Icebreakers!
It's that time! Your swim team needs you! All practice groups in both pools will participate in the Swim-A-Thon 2021, a 1 hour swim event to raise critically needed funds for the Central Vermont Swim Club. The week of December 6th, 2021 each group will complete this during their regularly scheduled practice time. It's a great opportunity for swimmers to challenge themselves and to raise money for the team.
What is a Swim-A-Thon ?
This is a swimming event at practice, in which each swimmer does his or her best to swim as many laps as they can in 1 hour. This fundraiser will help raise critically needed money to fund team operations.
This is also an amazing opportunity for your swimmer to set a goal and crush it! Parents and coaches help count swimmers laps during the hour that they are swimming.
OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL THIS YEAR IS $4,000.00
To set up a fundraiser for your swimmer, please do the following:
Sign in to your teamunify account and click on the Swim-A-Thon banner that appears towards to the top of the page.
Once you are signed in, you will land in the Setup tab to begin your fundraising efforts . You will also see a series of other tabs where you will manage the entire process for your child[ren]. If you have more than one child on the team, click the pull-down menu to the right of the blue "Participant" title to select each. We’ve made it really easy to add pictures, fun icons, and individualized text for each child’s unique fundraising page! Remember to have fun setting up your account and promoting your fundraising efforts! Information on how to set up your page is attached to this email if you need help.
If you prefer not to do online fundraising, fundraising can also be done with paper packets. Just ask your coach for a packet during practice this week. Funds are not due until after the swim, so feel free to collect a fixed amount donation or pledges per lap for your swimmer and collect after the event. If your swimmer needs help setting a goal, ask a coach!
