Swim-A-Thon Letter to Friends and Family - Katy Aquatics

Dear _______________________________________________,
I am helping my USA swim club, KATY Aquatics, build a stronger
team, and I am asking for your support.
KATY Aquatics has made a huge difference in my life. Through swimming, I have learned the
power of discipline, teamwork, and setting goals. I especially enjoy the fun that comes when all
three of these traits are encouraged by great coaches. We have great coaches at KATY
Aquatics, and they make swimming more than just exercise. They make it an activity that builds
character for life.
KATY Aquatics is a premier swim club with over 25 years of history in Katy, nationally ranked as
one of the top 100 swim teams in the USA, and Katy’s community leader in teaching kids to
swim through Swim America. KATY Aquatics is a club I am proud to belong to.
That is why I am swimming in the “Get In and Swim” Swim-A-Thon on April 13 th . In 2 hours, I will
try to swim 200 laps (2.84 miles)! That is a lot of swimming, but it is all for a great causecontinuing
our success as a swim club and building our own pool.
Your pledge will help me meet my goal of $__________ and help KATY Aquatics raise $70,000
towards a stronger future.
The easiest way for you to donate is online at http://active.com/donate/katyaquatics2013. It is a
secure website where you can give to our club - whatever amount you desire.

organization that has made a huge difference in my life. All contributions are tax deductible –
