Wie kan deelnemen?
The
Swimarathon is the most important annual fund-raising event for our Lions Club
to raise money for a worthwhile charity.
Who
can join in ?
You. Anyone
able to swim can register and join a team. Teams are normally between 6 and 8
swimmers - colleagues, friends, parents, children, brothers, sisters, etc.
So how
does it work ?
Say your team
has 8 swimmers. The team swims in relays for 55 minutes – each member swimming
one 25m length in turn. Swimmer A would swim laps 1, 9, 17, 25..... etc. So if
the team swims 160 lengths each swimmer would complete 20 lengths.
How
do I register ?
-
Appoint a
team captain. Send in your team registration form via this website
-
We then send confirmation and sponsor forms
-
Each team
swimmer tries to collect as many team sponsors as possible, explaining how
it works.
-
Your team
selects a start time and comes to swim for 55 minutes
on Sunday, March
15, 2009.
-
We count
your lengths at the event and tell you how much money you made. Each swimmer
collects from his sponsors and sends the money to the Lions Club charity
account.
Who
can be a sponsor ?
You can have
either private or corporate sponsors, relatives, friends, grandparents or
companies. They sponsor the team and can give between 5 cents and 25 cents per
length, as they wish. Or a fixed sum.
How does
the sponsorship work ?
Say your team
has 8 swimmers and each swimmer gets 10 sponsors. Therefore a total of 80
sponsors can offer, for example, 5 cents per length.
If your team
swims a total of 160 lengths, then the team should collect:
80 sponsors
x 5 cents x 160 laps = Total 640 euros
However
each sponsor only gives 8 euros
