USA Swimming Foundation's SWIM-A-THON™
Swim-a-Thon™ is a fun and easy way to raise money for your swim team!
Participants earn money by swimming lengths of the swimming pool. Swimmers have a two-hour period in which to

swim a maximum of 200 lengths. Swimmers get pledges from family, neighbors or businesses to support their efforts. Donors can either pledge a certain amount of money per length, or make a flat donation in support
of your team.
USA Swimming Foundation's Swim-a-Thon™ is
the only official pledge-for-length swim program. Since 1998, Swim-a-Thons™ have generated more than $30 million for swim clubs and swim programs across the country.
The USA Swimming Foundation is proud to support your fundraising efforts. Participating teams will receive a new and improved fundraising toolkit, where you’ll find all the information you need to run a successful Swim-a-Thon™. Additionally, you’ll learn how the USA Swimming Foundation can incentivize your program with certificates and awards for your athletes, and provide promotion support to ensure the success of your event.
New for 2012, TeamUnify has been named the exclusive online program partner for the Swim-a-Thon™ program. TeamUnify has developed the only online technology specifically designed to conduct a Swim-a-Thon™ event—helping you to raise funds online, as well as track donations that are made offline.
