Dear Swim Team Families,

Thank you to all 84 swimmers who participated in this year’s Swim-a-thon. Congratulations to the 26 swimmers who swam 100 and 200 lengths (25 meters)! Kudos to the coaches and volunteers who counted all of those laps! We could not have the Swim-a-thon without the volunteers who helped count laps and serve breakfast. We swam a combined total of 6533 lengths, 163,325 meters, or approximately 101.5 miles (that’s like swimming to Richmond).

Congratulations to Craig Allison who swam the most lengths – 242 and he was the fastest to complete 200 lengths in 1 hour 33 minutes. There were even two minis who completed 100 lengths (they also swam 25 meter lengths) – Remy Pennel and Ellasyn Henry! Way to go Mini Neptunes!

Thank you to everyone who collected pledges and donations for the Swim-a-thon. It’s not too late to donate! If you forgot to send in your pledge form Wednesday morning, you can still collect donations. Please turn in your Swim-a-thon donations during practice or by the Ice Cream Social on Friday, July 27th. If you prefer to donate your volunteer fee to the Swim-a-thon, hit reply to this email and let us know.

Does your employer match charitable contributions? Employer matching is a great way to double your personal donation to the team. Ask your employer for the form you need have your contributions matched. The Newington Forest Swim Team is a 501c(3) non-profit, donations are tax deductible.

Thank you for making this another successful Swim-a-thon.
