Marlins Member Fundraising
The Marlins Swim Club tries to keep swimmer fees as low as possible. There are various events throughout the year that are mandatory for competative swimmers and optional for for non-competative or minis.
Marlins Swim Meets
Hosting a Swim Meet is a big commitment for a swim club and generates revenue for the club through fees charged to participants, raffles and sale of programs. To make our Swim Meet a success, we need the help of every family participating in the swim meet to volunteer. Messaging regarding volunteering needs will be sent out to competative group families outlining each meets volunteering requirements, as well as what the incendive of volunteering will be. If a family does not fulfil that requirement they will be charged for the fees for that swim meet.
Bingo (Optional)
"Bingo season" is 12 months - September to August.
All families are welcome to work Bingos and the more Bingos we work, the more the club makes. Bingo revenue contributes to rental of pool time. When you work a Bingo, your family account is credited for $75. If two people from your family work at a Bingo, you will receive a $150 credit.
You can sign up for Bingo by clicking on the the Bingo drop down under the Fundraising link and then emailing [email protected] to inform of the date you wish to sign up for. As well, please ensure you sign up at least 7 days in advance and if you must miss a shift, find an alternate worker or contact [email protected] and Maureen Pennington, BINGO coordinator (contact info will be sent out with confirmation email) at least 24 hours in advance. Missed shifts will be charged $100. Additional information about Bingo is available in the Bingo tab.
Personal Fundraising (Optional)
A number of optional fundraising activities may also be available throughout the year. 100% of the net profit of any fundraising activity will be applied to the swimmer's account.
