Swim-A-long 2025

The 'Cudas are teaming up with the Susan G. Komen foundation again this summer for our annual Swim-A-Long. This cause is particularly close to our hearts as some of our very own 'Cuda moms have journeyed through breast cancer, and we want to support continued research for this very important cause. We have leveled up our team goal to $10,000 this year!
The Swim-A-Long is Wednesday June 18th at the South Briar pool. This year, not only can you support your favorite Cuda(s) by donating, but we are inviting you to participate! That's right, grab your suit, goggles, towel, and Swim-A-Long right beside the Cudas! We are holding two sessions: 7:30-9:00 AM OR 9:30-11:00 AM. If you don't feel inclined to swim, we can always use help counting laps.
DJ Troy Swim Fan will be spinning tunes and hyping our participants and we will have donuts and breakfast tacos for our swimmers. You can help us in this endeavor by clicking on our Team Page and either choose "Donate Now" or "Join Our Team". Joining our team allows you to create your own personal page to share with your family and friends, and there are prizes to be awarded at the end of season party. Tell your supporters how many laps you will swim. Post a fun swim pic. It's your page so get creative! Let us know you can join us by RSVPing using this link. See you at the pool!

Swim-A-long 2024

Last year the 'Cudas teamed with the Susan G. Komen foundation. This cause is particularly close to our hearts as some of our very own 'Cuda moms have journeyed through breast cancer, and we want to support continued research for this very important cause. Through the hard work of our swimmers, including some parents and friends, the team raised a whopping $8,500! Two of our youngest 'cudas Hudson B. and Sadie K. were the top fundraisers and helped our organizers present the check to representations from the foundation.
