Maya and Scott have been members of the New Wave Swim Team for a little more than six months now. They are participating in Laps for Cash, which is their yearly fundraiser. The funds that will be raised will go to training the coaching staff throughout the next year, to providing plenty of lap space for practices and to support the continuation of this excellent swim organization.
This fundraiser is also an excellent opportunity for the swimmers to challenge themselves to accomplish a long distance swim. The distance each swimmer is trying to achieve is 200 laps, or 5,000 yards. This distance represents approximately three miles. Maya and Scott each have 2 hours to accomplish this...they are incredibly strong swimmers and I think that they can do it!
Pledges can be accepted based on the number of laps the kids swim or a flat fee can be donated. All donations to WAVE Swimming are tax deductible as they are a 501(C)3 nonprofit organization. Maya and Scott will do their swim on April 1st and all money needs to be handed into their coaches no later than April 8th.
The kids are gung ho about this and can't wait to see if they can swim all 200 hundred laps. If you wish to donate, please do! Checks can be written out to New WAVE Swim Team and sent to me. Please email me at momof2monkeyshines@gmail.com for more information.
