Welcome to the Stingrays 2016 Summer Fund-Raising Challenge Swim! We hopeall of our Surreywood swimmers, young and old, will take part in this challenging event. This is an excellent way to measure our swimmers’ ability to swim distance. It is also a great opportunity to swim at one’s own pace and simply enjoy the swim J

Attached you will find a chart that offers the swimmers some guidance based on age. For example, a swimmer who is 4-6 years old has a Goal to swim 16 lengths of the pool. If he/she chooses, that swimmer can reach for a Stretch Goal and swim 24 lengths total.

We are hoping that each swimmer get five (5) people to pledge his/her swim. For the case of the 4-6 year old, the amount asked of any pledge is $10 if the Goal is met. If the Stretch Goal is met, then an extra $12 is pledged, for $22 total pledge. Swims above the Stretch Goal do not bring in extra money, although swimmers are encouraged to swim beyond the Goals, if desired. There will be awards for those who complete their Goal, as well other prizes. Free pizza and soda will be served at the end!!

Many children would benefit from having adults count their laps, so we hope to see you at the pool. We will try to have some extra adults on site to assist with lap counting.

NEW THIS YEAR: There will beParents Challenge goalssoadults can participate too!

Thank you in advance for encouraging your swimmers to rise to the challenge of this fun event!
