The team participates in several fundraising activities throughout the year, including a Give-and-Get “Scrips” program, USA Swimming’s Swim-a-Thon, and many advertising opportunities. Each family is asked to help raise $170 to cover operational costs of the team (or $ 120 for families in silver and bronze; $70 for Blue, Senior and Senior HS; there is no commitment for swimmers in competitive lessons).

Last year, fundraising helped reduce Team Fees for everyone significantly. Additionally, because a portion of your funds raised beyond your commitment is applied to Training Fees, three families paid for their entire season through fundraising, while 22 families reduced their Training Fees to some extent.
If you are interested in sponsoring the team in any other capacity (through your business, etc), please see our Sponors Page.
Any money you raise beyond the your committment in ads or swim-a-thon will go directly to your team fees. Any money raised beyond your committment in Scrips will be split 50-50 with the team. If you are a smart shopper, you could pay for your whole season of swimming simply by doing the shopping you already do. There is no limit on how much you can earn!
(Note also that the funraising requirement is on a per-family basis, based on the group of your swimmer who practices in the highest group).
