Swim-a-Thon
What is the Swim a Thon?
The Swim A Thon (SAT) is a fun in-pool fundraiser where participants earn money by swimming lengths of the pool. This is usually FAST’s only major fundraiser each season
In addition to being our major fundraiser for the year, our SAT has become an amazing team building event.
We see our swimmers of different age groups rally together to support each other as they take on this very challenging event!
Not to mention the snacks and prizes!

How to create a Swim a Thon Page
Step 1
Go to this link https://donate.swimming.ca/ and follow the instructions to set up your swimmer's page (it takes just 2 minutes!).
If you participated in the Swim A Thon last year it is important to unpublish that page and create a new one.
If you have more than 1 swimmer, you can either create a page for each, or 1 family page.
Step 2
Share your swimmers page link on social media and with family/friends/neighbours.
Raise Funds for your team and put yourself in the running for great prizes.

SAT Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don't set up a page or my page doesn't receive $60 minimum?
If you do not set up a swimmer page, or if your page does not earn at least $60, your FAST account will be charged for the $60 mandatory fundraising fee (or additional fee needed to equal $60)
Who must participate and is it mandatory to attend the SAT?
Yes, its mandatory for all of our competitive swimmers to participate in the SAT. In addition to being our major fundraiser of the season, the SAT is an incredible event that challenges swimmer, raises self esteem and enhances Team Building. There are so many benefits of the SAT, FAST takes full advantage of the opportunity by ensuring everyone participates.
What is the money used for?
90% of the money raised stays with FAST. The remaining 10% is divided between Swimming NB and Swimming Canada.
