How to join: Click one of the "register as an individual", "Join an Existing Team" or "Create a team" buttons on the right of the web page to register and get your own fundraising page to send out to your friends and family. 

Fundraising: We ask that swimmers under the age of 18 try to raise $50. Swimmers 18 & Older are asked to try to raise $100. Many will raise more but if everyone raises these amounts, our swim could raise thousands to support cancer research, prevention and treatment.  Non-swimmer donations are always welcome.

Hero Status fundraisers who exceed the minimum will be recognized!
