🏊‍♀️🌊 WHALERS SWIM-A-THON FUNDRAISER 🌊🏊‍♂️

It's time for one of our favorite club traditions! Our annual Swim-a-thon challenges swimmers to see how many lengths they can complete during their regular practice while raising funds to support our club.

Funds raised go directly back to our athletes through equipment, training resources, and other improvements that enhance the swimmer experience. Last year's Swim-a-thon helped us purchase brand-new starting blocks!

Now is the perfect time to start thinking about sponsors. Friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers can all help support your swimmer's efforts.

📧 Check your email for full event details, sponsorship information, and the pledge form link.

Note that participation in this event will only allow room for athletes participating in the event. Please start NOW looking for Sponsors/Pledges, as this is a great event to learn what your athletes can achieve!

Thank you for helping make our club stronger, one length at a time!

📸 Team Photos – June 17th! 📸

🏊 Team Photo: 4:30 PM

Photo Day is also part of Spirit Week and will count toward team points 😉 Make sure to show your spirit by dressing in your team colours!

Athletes who do not wear team colours will be asked to wear their swimsuit or borrow something from a teammate.

🌊 After photos, we'll be hosting a Fun Swim, so don't forget to bring your floaties, inflatables, and pool toys! 🛟

Congratulations to our Senior Swimmer of the Week, Lucas!
Although Lucas is currently in Division 1, he trains alongside our Senior athletes and consistently rises to the challenge. He arrives early to every practice, commits fully to dryland, and pushes himself in every swim.
Lucas is incredibly self-motivated and brings a thoughtful approach to his training. He doesn’t just participate—he takes the time to understand each movement and continuously works to improve.
Fantastic work, Lucas—keep it up!
