2025 SAY Swim Team Lap-A-Thon!!!

Patrick Collins

Become a SAY Lap-a-Thon Ambassador and Help Us Make Waves! We’re kicking off our Lap-a-Thon next Wednesday, May 28, (rain date: Thursday, May 29) and our goal is to raise $25,000 in support of our swim team and the Summit Area YMCA. We are looking for 100% participation as the lap-a-thon has served as our program’s in-pool fundraiser season after season. Swimmers can ask family, friends, neighbors, teachers, or businesses to pledge money per length, or make a flat donation in support of the SAY Swim Team. PIZZA PARTY AFTER YOUR SWIM!!! Spectators and siblings are welcome! Swimmers will need a parent timer/counter just like last year. An event email went out last week and another will come out following this one if you have yet to declare yes/no so we can get an accurate number of pizzas to order :)
