On the afternoon of May 18, 2019 every member of my TEAM, more than 450 athletes, will swim 200 laps to support our program. That's nearly 3 miles! I am asking you to help me by supporting my fundraising efforts with a donation. Your tax-deductible gift will make a difference!

As a TEAM we have been recognized nationally for our Swim-A-Thon success for many years. Our community is strong, and our swimmers are swimming faster than ever locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. Daily training, regular competition, and an emphasis on PROCESS by which goals are accomplished offers fundamental life lessons to me and my team. Our theme of "TEAM - Together Everyone Achieves More" is perfect for our us as we strive to become the best TEAMmates possible and help to take this program to new levels. Together we can achieve great things!

The Swim-A-Thon allows the Rose Bowl Aquatics Swim Club to maintain activities and operations separate from those covered by monthly and annual dues. Just a few of those examples are below:

• Relays at all meets;

• Team travel and participation in meets at all levels from local and regional meets to national competition across the state and country;

• Capital expenses and improvements such as new starting blocks, our touchpad timing system, and Rose Bowl tarps that protect our swimmers from weather and create a TEAM area at all meets.

Every single member of the TEAM (including me!) benefits from funds raised by this event, please make a contribution to the 2018 Swim-A-Thon!
