Aquathon Fundraiser

The Gulfwood Gators Aquathon is Thursday, July 9, from 7:00-8:30 pm. All Gator swimmers are invited to take part in the Aquathon in lieu of evening practice. Like previous years, the event will include a short run, so please make sure your swimmer brings appropriate footwear. While every donation helps us reach our goal, we’re encouraging a minimum of $25 per swimmer or $50 per family. 

Thanks to past Aquathons, we've been able to purchase essentials like our team shed, lane ropes and reel, and a new starter—investments that benefit both our current team and future Gulfwood Gators.

After swimming their laps, swimmers can enjoy an ice cream with their teammates.
Below is the Venmo QR for if you have someone who would like to donate that way. Be sure they put your swimmer's name in the memo! Venmo can also be accessed at this link: Team Venmo

Please let us know if there are any questions!
