Shark-a-Thon 2026

MLST Shark-a-Thon

Our annual fundraiser, the Shark-a-Thon, will be held on August 4-5, 2026.  Link to donate

Shark-a-Thon is one of our most fun team events, and every swimmer is invited to participate. Swimmers will be given a set amount of time to complete as many laps as they can, usually 30 minutes for younger swimmers and one hour for older swimmers. A volunteer will count each swimmer’s laps, so the kids can focus on swimming, cheering, and having fun.

Beginner swimmers are welcome too. They may use fins or kickboards, so everyone can participate at their own level.

Swimmers who cannot attend on August 4-5 may still participate by completing their laps during regular practice hours the following week.

The final day to swim is Friday, August 15. Winners will be determined the following weekend based on both total laps and funds raised. Prizes will be awarded at the end-of-season party.

How Donations Work

Friends and family can support their favorite swimmer by pledging a donation for every lap completed or by making a one-time gift. Whether it is $1, $5, or more per lap, every contribution helps support the team. Here is a link to our donation page.

All swimmers should plan to participate if they are in town. This is a family event, and we hope everyone can get involved. Older athletes may also help count laps and encourage younger swimmers.

Why It Matters

All proceeds go toward Mammoth Lakes Swim Team.

Your support helps provide essential resources like pool space, practice equipment, and team gear — everything our swimmers need to train, grow, and thrive. Whether you donate per lap or give a one-time gift, your contribution makes a real difference. Thank you for being part of our swim family and for investing in the future of our team.
