2024 Swim-a-Thon Wrap-up

Jolanthe Erb (Director of Operations)

Our 2024 Swim-a-Thon (first-ever!!) has officially wrapped up, laps have been counted, and all the numbers are in! FIFTY-TWO of our swimmers worked hard at securing sponsorships to raise a total of $14,004.05 through our 190 donors!

To say we are overwhelmed would be an understatement. The intial $10,000 goal was passed...and not in a small way!

Whether it was 16 laps or 400, every single lap helped us toward our goal. Together our 42 swimmers completed a total of 4,762 pool lengths (25 yards) for a total of 67.6 miles in the water. 

 

Congratulations to our swimmers who swam: 

  • 100-199 laps - Madelyn Gray, Coleman Skelly, Kaimbrie Zook, Igor Dmytriyev, Vivie Hess, Elias Kite, Isaiah Kite, Bryson Long, Lily Malca, Anna Paradise, Elysia Schoolcraft, Orin Whistleman, Finn Whistleman, and Arianna Yanez
  • 201-299 laps - Caelee Long, Will Richardson, Rachael Bing, and Jake Nylander
  • 400 laps - Kaleb Erb 

Our top SIX fundraisers were Caelee Long ($1017), Bryson Long ($1001), Arianna Yanez ($965), Lily Malca ($950), Deacon Whitson ($900), and Brandon Smith ($750). The remaining prizes and incentives have been ordered for the different fundraising levels, with many fun things coming for our swimmers!

After the hours in the pool, the team celebrated at Funky's - skating and pizza was a great way to wrap up the day!

Thank you SO MUCH to the parents who helped count laps, the effort from each swimmer in reaching out to sponsors, the many laps that were completed, the volunteer hours before and after the event, and the overall team spirit and participation.
