The Idle Hour Swim Team is raising money for The Children's Medical Center of Dayton.  This is a volunteer effort with 100% of the swim-a-thon proceeds going directly to Children Medical Center on behalf of Ally Barnett, a 7 year old swim team member recently diagnosed with Leukemia.

Each swimmer will have a two hour period to attempt to complete as many laps(50 meters) as possible.  Swimmers will attempt to swim a certain number of laps for a price (i.e. 50 laps at 50 cents per lap = donation of $25.00) and/or a one time donation (i.e. $25.00).  Swimmers are encouraged to ask family members, friends, neighbors, etc. to help our team out with this cause.
