FINS’S UP SHARKS & MARK YOUR SUMMER CALENDARS!!
THE 2026 Sharkathon will be Wednesday, June 24th.
What is a Sharkathon?
How it Works:
Donors can pledge a flat amount (e.g., $20) or an amount per lap (e.g., $1/lap- if your swimmer swims 100 laps- the donor pledge would be $100). Use the QR code to access the Pledge Form by July 16th.
Set Your Goal:
Swim on Event Day: Each swimmer will be assigned a lane. A volunteer will count and record each swimmer’s laps.
Laps = down and back = 50 yards (2 lengths). (MAX LAP is 100 laps/200 lengths).
Collect Donations:
Donations can be submitted online via venmo (link is on pledge form) or by check/cash to the team (checks to Farmington Sharks Swim Team). All funds raised go directly to support team needs.
Sharkathon Guidelines:
Lap Counting: Each lane will have 2 designated counters (parent/volunteer/coach).
Breaks: Swimmers may stop to rest but must stay in the water.
All Ages Welcome: From our youngest Baby Sharks to our Senior Sharks—everyone can join!
Have Fun: Swimmers can complete their laps swimming any strokes throughout the swimathon. Fins and kickboards are welcome!
Fundraising Guidelines:
Minimum Suggested Goal: $50 per swimmer but the sky is the limit! To be eligible for prizes swimmers must raise the $50 minimum.
If you use the online form to make your pledge, be sure to put “SHARKATHON & (The swimmer you are sponsoring)”
