Northwest Swim Team Hurricane Swim Team hasn't added a story.
Who We Are: We are the Hurricanes! The Hurricane Swim Team is a family-friendly summer swim team in northwest Austin. As a member of the Northwest Swim Circuit, our mission is to provide a structured recreational activity where your child can learn the value of competition, sportsmanship, teamwork, and individual achievement, as well as make new friends while getting a great workout!
What Is The Hurrithon? Each year we host a Hurrithon. Swimmers will swim as many laps as possible to raise money for the Hurricanes. There will be 2 types of prizes this year: the most money raised and the most laps swam per age group.
When Is the Hurrithon? The Hurrithon will be held Tuesday, June 14th at our pool during regular swim practice. All laps will be swam this day. However, donations will be accepted through June 30th.
Why Are We Raising Money? As Winston Churchill said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Did you know we are 100% volunteer run?Our registration fees are very low and don't cover the full expenses of running a swim team and hosting meets. We raise money to offset these costs in order to keep registration fees affordable so all kids have the opportunity to swim with the Hurricanes.
Our fundraising goal this season is $5,000. On a typical year, every dime of our Registration Fees are spent on our Coaching Budget and our fixed costs: Pool use fee, office supplies to run our meets and a new $600 lane line. So, we must fundraise for everything else. This season, we are hoping to replace all of tents that have been damaged in the last few years. Unfortunately we lost quite a few at our first meet of this season. We also need to purchase a new lane line and help cover the salary of our amazing coaching staff. We are also still raising funds to replace our shed, which leaks EVERY TIME it rains.
Help us raise $5,000 by June 30th.
NOTE: Please indicate WHICH SWIMMER/S your donation should be credited to, so we can track the totals. Thank you for supporting us!
