Shadow Creek Tsunamis Swim Team
Swim-A-Thon: Moved to May practice 2019
Originally planned for August 30, we will incorporate this charity event into one of our our May 2019 practice session
Swim laps for charity. .10 cents or .25 cents for every lap. Goal = 50 laps for 8 &under and 100 laps everyone ages 9+
--> 5:30 Lap swimming 8 & under
--> 6:15 Lap swimming ages 9-16
--> 7:15 ages 11+ (adults welcome)
Each swimmer can ask several neighbors to sponsor them for the charity event. .10 cents or .25 cents per lap.
--A 7 year old could get 4 neighbors to sponsor at .25 cents, swim 20 laps, and collect $5 from each neighbor.
--A 10 year old could get 4 neighbors to sponsor at .10 cents, swim 100 laps, and collect $10 from each neighbor.
--A 12 year old could get 4 neighbors to sponsor at .25 cents, swim 100 laps, and collect $25 from each neighbor.
Focus: Guatemala
Less than half of all rural Guatemalans have access to running water, only a quarter have access to electricity, and only about one in 10 have access to modern sanitation facilities. Guatemala’s severe food insecurity and lack of accessible, affordable medical care has led to high infant, child and maternal mortality rates.
