Welcome to the Juan de Fuca Royals Swim-a-thon 2026 Fundraiser!

This is a fun way to raise funds for the club while challenging our swimmers to go the distance. On May 24th swimmers will be participating by completing as many laps as they can during the Swim-a-thon and your donations are their motivation! We hope to raise at least $7,000 this year to help pay for swim meet fees, lane costs, equipment and more for our swimmers. Donations can be made through a swimmers individual page.

Thanks for your support!
