The Swim-to-Somewhere-in-the-Yukon event is one of WGB’s biggest and most exciting annual fundraisers; a fun way for swimmers to challenge themselves in the pool while raising money to support WGB!
How It Works:
WGB coaches choose a destination somewhere in the Yukon, and the distance from Whitehorse to that location becomes our Swim Challenge goal. To "travel" the distance, swimmers are challenged to complete as many lengths as possible during a single session (1–2 hours), with goals tailored to their age and ability. Every length adds up—together, we aim to reach our destination as a team!
Collect Pledges:
Swimmers collect donations from family, friends, and supporters, either as a flat amount or per length swum. All donations are collected through the WGB pleadge sheet, which will be emailed to families prior to the event.
On the day of, swimmers come together at the pool to complete their swim under coach supervision. It’s energetic, fun, and full of team spirit, with music, cheering, and celebration.
Pledge Sheet is available for download in this event file!
Funds Raised Go to WGB:
Half of each donation supports WGB’s development, and the other half goes directly to athletes' fundraising accounts. Reference the Account Credit Policy for more information
