Description

What’s a Squid-A-Thon? A Squid- A-Thon is a really fun way to combine something we love, swimming, and support the efforts of our summer swim team, the Fort Myer Squids!

Fort Myer Swim Team strives to educate swimmers (or Squids) on patriotism, swim technique, good sportsmanship and teamwork. As a nonprofit committed to providing an affordable and accessible summer swim program for all children, often times expenses exceed our team's revenue, so this year's fundraising efforts will go towards pool fees, coach salaries, and team events & gear.

On the morning of Tuesday, June 24th, each Squid team member, will swim for either one hour or up to 200 lengths of the pool--that's 5,000 yards! In addition to seeking pledges for swimmers, we are asking for donations to use as raffle prizes.Please show your support. We are really excited to host this event and thank you for your generosity!
