The Swim-A-Thon Fundraiser, a general Parkland Pool event that is a fundraiser for the swim team, is open to swimmers of all ages.  All participants must be able to swim one pool length on their own, but they can use a kickboard when they participate in the Swim-A-Thon.  Additionally, participants should swim at whatever pace they are comfortable with – it is not a competition.
Swimmers will ask their family, friends, etc. to pledge a minimum of $1.00 per length swum with a maximum dollar amount of the donor's choosing.

Example 1:  A donor pledges $1.00 per length that a participant swims, with a maximum pledge of $15.00, and the participant swims two lengths total.  The donor will then owe $2.00 (2 x $1.00).   If the donor pledged $3.00 per length, they will owe $6.00 (2 x $3.00).  In either case, if the donor agreed to a maximum pledge of $15.00, they may still only donate $2.00 or $6.00, unless they prefer to step-up and donate their maximum pledge of $15.00.
Example 2:  A donor pledges $5.00 per length that a participant swims, with a maximum pledge of $100.00, and the participant swims 32 lengths.  In this case, the donor will owe $100.00, their maximum pledge -- not $160.00 (32 x $5.00).


​The list of Swim-A-Thon participants will also be emailed to pool members so that they can make a general donation to this fundraiser or sign up to make pledges for individual swimmers, with the same donation guidelines as above.
