Hi Friends! Sierra is doing her once a year Swim-A-Thon fundraiser for The Havasu Stingrays Swim Team. She would love your support as she pushes to reach her goal of 200 pool lengths. Any amount is appreciated as this is their only fundraiser of the year. The team uses these funds for special guest coaches, events, etc. I will post photos next Saturday morning at the event. Sierra thanks you for your support!!

This event is tomorrow and the Stingrays can use all of the support the inmates of RDP can provide!

My son’s just completed their first year as collegiate D1 swimmers and I can personally attest to the work ethic that age group club swimming develops. They are 14 years in to one, two and sometimes three workouts a day. The Stingray’s are a great team that always welcomed my sons to their practices when we were in LH.

Good luck tomorrow Sierra!

I appreciate you bumping this! We got a few donations through the fb group page, but I was surprised at the lack of participation from the website itself.. Especially after I bought these fuckers about 5,000 dollars worth of beers over Desert Storm etc.. LOL.

Maybe next year I'll just donate the 5K to the swim team.. :p:p

I’m actually surprised by the lack of response particularly given all of the recent complaining about the lack of work ethic. These kids work their asses off day in, day out. I don’t think most people realize swim season at the club level is 6 days a week, 50 weeks a year. Not one of the top level swimmers fell up that mountain.

Easy now, I kicked down on day 1, and I didn't get a free beer at DS cause I wasn't there.

I remember going door to door for swim-athon sponsorships back when I was a kid. Hated it at first but got better at it over the years. Helped a shy kid bust out a little.

GO STINGRAYS!

Done. But almost missed it.
I swam for the Corona city team from age 6 to 16. We were often doing 2-a-days including a weight lifting routine even in the early 70's, but by the late 70's, as a team, we were very good. Quit at 16 when I discovered girls and motocross.

Good luck Stingrays!

Sierra had her swimathon this morning and she swam 200 laps..

To put that into laymen’s terms she swam 3 MILES. 😳.

She qualified to do the swim across the lake! This year they are swimming from rotary through the channel to the north end, around the no wake bouies and back to rotary.. which I admit as a parent I’m a lot more comfortable with than her swimming across the lake.

Sierra completed her 200 laps today with 3 minutes to spare!! It was super emotional watching most from her age/skill group bust through the coach expectations and complete just in the nick of time! Thank you all for supporting our little towns Swim Team and her! This is their once a year fundraiser and they use the funds for guest coaches, extra training and equipment for the year!

Done. Thanks for the reminder bump. Couldn’t mate it to DS because I had 2 weddings to attend. Hopefully next take you up on it. Being unemployed at the moment did what I could. Hope to cross paths soon. Hope you are enjoying the toon.
