Hello Team,

It’s time for the Seventh Annual Swim for Life Relay! Mark your calendars and save the date - Sept. 2nd at 10 AM to Sept. 3rd at 10 AM.

Swim for Life is an annual fundraiser for our team and a service event where we raise money for the American Heart Association. This is a great event that the swimmers really enjoy!

If you are newer to the team, we highly encourage your swimmer to talk to others who participated in the past. They will hear lots of great stories! Our goal is 95% participation – please join the fun! See below for more information and how you can help.

For more information, please check out the Swim for Life website and register today - see How to Register below.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Stacy at [email protected].

Thanks,

Stacy Mann

What Is Swim for Life?

Swim for Life is a team building 24-hour group relay where the entire team swims and participates in games and other team building activities. Groups of five to seven swimmers will sign up in 20-30 minute time blocks where they will swim relay style, there is only one swimmer in the pool at a time.

Swim for Life is partnering again this year with the American Heart Association and there will be a strong emphasis on heart health. Free mini-CPR classes will be available during the relay!

Where Donations Go?

Donations raised during the Swim for Life Relay will help pay for the event, including the Swim for Life towels. The remainder of the proceeds from the event will benefit our swim club and the American Heart Association. 50% of the profits will be donated to the American Heart Association. The remaining funds will help pay for swim team activities, team equipment, and other team expenses.

How To Help

As is with any great event, volunteers will be needed for help in feeding and supervising our swimmers! I will send out a Time to Sign Up link at the beginning of August where you can sign up for the spot you want.

In addition, we can always use help with getting donations for the door prizes at the event. If you or someone you know are able to donate an item or gift card to give away as a door prize, please contact Stacy.
