Swim-A-Thon 2023

SWIM-A-THON 2023

In order to continue to grow our club and provide high-quality programming at a reasonable price, we need your help!

All proceeds raised go to the direct benefit of the entire VPSC membership!
Your support of the Swim-A-Thon will directly affect our ability to continue providing safe and affordable training for our members.
