Thank you for registering for the TEME Swim Challenge! The goals of the TEME Swim Challenge are:

+To raise money for our ALTS program and dues assistance program

+To challenge yourself

+To have fun and support your TEME teammates! 

Pick Your Session

The TEME Swim Challenge has two one-hour swim sessions. To complete the one-hour challenge, register for either Session 1 -OR- Session 2. To complete the two-hour challenge, you must register separately for both Session 1 -AND- Session 2. This will allow us to manage lane capacity accurately.

Swimming Goal

To help determine lane assignments, you will be asked to enter your goal number of yards for one hour. When deciding your goal, remember that you are welcome to use gear! You can use this guide to help you calculate an estimate.

Fundraising Requirement

The fundraising minimum is $75 for a one-hour challenge and $150 for a two-hour challenge. Each registered swimmer will receive a 99Pledges personal fundraising page that can be shared with family and friends. You can ask people to pledge a flat amount for your participation in the challenge, or you can request a per-yard pledge (we recommend between 1 and 10 cents per yard, depending on your swimming goal; 4 cents per yard is equivalent to “$1 per lap” in a traditional length pool).

Lane Assignments

We will use the information you provide about your usual lane and yardage goal to inform lane assignments for the swim challenge. Please know that final assignments will be based on the total number of swimmers, pace, and event logistics. 

Volunteering

We need volunteers to make this event happen! If you are willing to volunteer before or after your swim, please let us know below. Marking “yes” does not commit you to volunteering. We will reach out with more information and volunteer sign-ups closer to the event. Roles may include lap counting, setup, breakdown, and check-in.

Photo/Video Permissions

TEME may take photos or videos during the TEME Swim Challenge for team communications, fundraising updates, social media, website, and future event promotion. We’ll ask about your video/photo preferences below. 

Alternate Date

In case the event must be rescheduled due to weather or pool maintenance issues, we’ve selected Sunday, August 30 as an alternate date. Please let us know below if you would be able to participate on that day.
