SWIM-A-THON 2026 | Beginning March 01
It's that time of year again -- the annual Swim-a-Thon fundraiser begins in just 10 days (March 01)! This is a full team event, and we hope each swimmer will help us reach our fundraising goal of $20,000 by May 31, 2026.
Thanks to everyone's efforts last year, we raised a total of $18,846 and we've seen the impact! These funds have allowed us to purchase items including whiteboards, fins for Academy swimmers, heart rate monitors, medicine balls, iPads, a TV, an underwater camera (arriving Spring 2026), additional mental performance sessions (Spring/Summer 2026), and contributed toward team travel costs.
What is the Swim-a-Thon?
Swim-A-Thon is an in-pool fundraiser in which swimmers complete a set distance (1.5 KM – Trojan Academy; 3.0 KM – Junior Program; 5 KM – Senior Program). In exchange for taking on this challenge, participants ask friends, family, and supporters to make a donation to help us reach our fundraising goal. All donations are collected online through a personalized fundraising page hosted by Swimming Canada.
