Description

Our goal is to raise $40,000 with all swim athletes expected to participate and strive for a minimum donation of $100.00. The funds from Swim-a-Thon are used to maintain and enhance the MME and MMW aquatic facilities and equipment improvements for all Minnetonka Aquatic participants. 

Specifically, we are targeting the use of funds on these items for MME and MMW:

20 pr/Drag Sox - makes kicking harder for training
2/Power Rack - replace the rusty blue machines on the swim deck
Fins - Larger Sizes - Short Blade - TYR
New Colorado Clock - replace broken clock in diving well
Relay Judging Pad - timing device for relay starts
New StretchCordz - elastic bands swimmers use in the pool
Backstroke Wedges (2) - pull down platforms for working on backstroke starts
Recognition Wall - AG Team at West
Recognition Board - Rec Team at East
Minnetonka Aquatics Graphic Wall at West
New Lane Lines at West

It is an “all hands on deck” effort to raise this amount of money on a tri-yearly basis and your help is needed to make it happen. Role call….
