Dear Orcas,

First and foremost, a massive thank you to everyone who supported, cheered for, and participated in our recent Swim-a-Thon! We brought incredible energy to the pool, and the final results are officially in!

Take a look at what we accomplished together:

Swim-a-thon Highlights:

• Total Participants: 110 swimmers jumped in to make a difference.
• Distance Covered: Together, we swam an incredible 8,609 lengths—which translates to 122.29 miles!
• How far is that? To put it into perspective, our team collectively swam the equivalent distance from the RFTC to Lake Michigan, all the way to the Indiana Dunes, and up to Milwaukee!

Check out the amazing achievements of our Top 10 Finishers below. See the attached pdf for a complete list of the milestones each swimmer met!

Support for WSSRA
Thanks to your dedication, we successfully raised $2,750 for WSSRA (West Suburban Special Recreation Association) based on the $25 participant donation. This contribution will go a long way in supporting their wonderful programs.

Want to do even more?

If you, a family member, or friends would like to make an additional donation to WSSRA in honor of your swimmer's incredible effort, you can do so directly by clicking on this link!

Important Billing Note:

If your child(ren) participated in the Swim-A-Thon:

• RFTC Members will see the standard $25 per participant donation applied directly to their monthly bill.
• Youth Privilege Holders will receive a separate email with a donation link via Swimtopia (similar to the banquet ticket purchase link).

Thank you again to our amazing Orcas community for your generosity, effort, and team spirit. We couldn't be prouder of our swimmers!  

See you at tonight's banquet,
