We’re excited to announce that NITRO will be hosting a Swim-A-Cross (The American Red Cross take on a Swim-A-Thon) for next Saturday August 13. All swimmers that train with Silver, Advanced Silver, Gold, TAGS 1&2, Senior 1&2, and the National group are invited to participate! We want to be sure that it is made clear that this fundraiser is 100% OPTIONAL – but encouraged as this is a fundraiser for the Central Texas Red Cross. The ARC is a very reputable and valuable organization. They hold a few of these fundraisers throughout the summer and have asked us to participate. Given the grassroots nature of the cause it seems like something we have a vested interest in rallying behind.
The Swim-A-Cross will take place during regularly scheduled Saturday practice. Swimmers can pair up to count for each other (each swimmer swimming for half of the practice time) or recruit a family member to log their laps for them. Pledge sheets will be available at the Front Desk this Saturday (Aug 7). Pledges can be made for each lap swum, or in a lump sum for participation.
All participants raising $50 or more will receive FREE Admission to Nitro’s Night at Jump Street!! We have rented out the facility for a 10p-12a, end of summer party! Admission is $10 at the door, unless you raised more than $50 in pledges in which case YOU’RE IN FOR FREE!!
Additionally there will be prizes awarded in two categories – 12 & under and 13& up. Awards will got to 1. the swimmer that raises the most money and 2. the swimmer that swims the greatest distance in their allotted time.
Thank you for your time, we hope that we as a Nitro community can come together to support The American Red Cross. Have a great week!!
