What Is the Splash-and-Dash?

The Splash-and-Dash is our YOSI-specific version of a Swim-a-Thon. Swimmers will have a two-hour window to complete as many laps as possible, with family members or teammates available to help count laps. Swimmers can take breaks and exit the water as many times as they like during the two-hour window. 

It’s a great opportunity for swimmers to demonstrate their effort and progress while involving friends and family in supporting their goals.

Donors can contribute in two ways:

  • Flat Donation β€“ A one-time amount
  • Per-Lap Pledge β€“ A set amount for each lap completed

Checks should be made payable to East Belleville YMCA, and cash is also accepted.

Why This Fundraiser Matters

Funds raised during the Splash-and-Dash support key needs within the YOSI Seals program, including:

  • New and replacement training equipment
  • Team events and mid-season/season-end gatherings
  • Travel support for meets and championships
