IT’S TIME!
----------USA Swimming
National Swim-A-Thon
November 15th - 18th
This has been a tough year for our Gwinnett team. However, we have all pulled
together and I am sure we can do it again with the USA Swimming Swim-A-Thon
(SAT). The SAT is a great opportunity for our swimmers to help raise funds for the
team and for USA Swimming. This is a fun way to collect pledges for your efforts.
PRIZES
Again this year we will have prizes for the swimmers who collect the
most money. Our prize award will be a little different than previous
years. I am still in the process of securing large prizes ($100.00 or
more value). Check out all the prizes you could win on the back of
this sheet. Additionally every swimmer who raises $50 will get to
attend a pool party in January featuring a chance to hit coach Hugh or Cathy in the
face with a pie!
PLEDGES
Ninety Five percent of the pledge money will be retained by Gwinnett Aquatics to support
our swimming program. Five percent will be returned to USA Swimming to defray
expenses of the SAT. The proceeds at Gwinnett Aquatics will be split between the capital
campaign and immediate needs to improve our facility including preparing a 40x110 yd
field by the tennis courts and purchasing weight room equipment and other items our
swimmers need around the pool.
SWIMS
EVERY swimmer will swim the SAT, whether they choose to raise pledges or not. It is a
two hour swim for distance that will include a timed component that will be submitted for
the national internet distance meet. We have placed numerous swimmers
in the top six of this event every year for the past 4 years (including
record holder John Millen in the 5000). The schedule for the SAT for
each group can be found on the back of this sheet. Bring your pledge sheet on the day of
your swim. Additionally, I will be asking each parent to bring an item for the group at the
time their group swims.
When completing the pledge envelope form please make sure that the funds inside the envelope match
the pledges listed. Additionally, please write the swimmers name and age group on each check.
Thank you for your hard work,
Cathy Lally
