SWIM-A-THON 2021
VPSC is proud of the continuity we have been able to provide in the lives of our membership since the world changed in March 2020 - youth sport has never been more important for our communities' social, physical, and mental wellbeing as it is right now.
Since returning to the water in September, our club has subsidized the cost per swimmer by providing a subsidy of approximately 18% from the club’s financial reserves: in order to continue to provide high quality programming at a reasonable price, we need your help!
Our member's continued support and commitment are the reasons for our continued success since March 2020.
All proceeds raised go to the direct benefit of the entire VPSC membership!
Your support with the Swim-A-Thon will directly affect our ability to continue providing safe and affordable training for our members. Programming is designed to not only enable success at the local, provincial, and national levels, it also allows ALL our swimmers at all levels to continue to improve and pursue their love of the sport.
