1500m swim-a-thon
Annually Thornlie Swimming Club holds a 1500m swim-a-thon. This is usually held in February on a Sunday rather than the usual Tuesday Club night.
We think this is a great opportunity for our swimmers to really challenge themselves in the longer distance.
As this is an annual event we run it as a sponsered event and ask our children to get people to sponsor them for their swim. The child who raises the most money will get a prize at our Trophy night and also for every $10 raised they will get a raffle ticket for some extra prizes on our Trophy night. For example if a child raises $100 they will be given 10 tickets towards the raffle!
As well as the 1500m swim we also offer the swimmers the 200m, 400m and 800m freestyle if they prefer. Or they can choose to do a lap-a-thon, ie swim as many laps as they can in a given time.
This is a fun day for all with a BBQ being held at the end for everyone.
