Swim
Your participation is essential to the success of this event. The goal of the Swim-A-Poolooza is to raise money for and awareness of Bloom Again: The Molly Bloom Foundation. The mission of the foundation is to provide assistance toward the recovery of seriously ill or injured athletes to help them return to their athletic endeavors, as Molly has. The Swim-A-Poolooza will be held on August 8th - 9th from 10 a.m - 10 a.m. at Skyline Acres Swim and Tennis Club, 6451 E. Jewell Ave. This is a 24-hour event.
Camping
Everybody's got to sleep! Bring your sleeping bag, tent, teddy bear and get some rest. When you aren't swimming you can catch up on your sleep, and be ready for your next hour of swimming. Plenty of room to spend the night and see what happens at 3 a.m.
Team Swimming
All participants will swim in teams ranging from 4-24 swimmers, with a maximum of 460 swimmers. You may choose a team or we will assign you to a team that needs additional swimmers. For teams of four, every swimmer will swim for an hour and rest for three hours for a total of six hours of swimming. For a team of 24, each swimmer will swim for one hour total. Every team will start at 10:00 am, with the rotation of swimmers occurring every hour. Your team will be assigned a lane in which you will swim for the entire Swim-A-Poolooza. There will be a maximum of four swimmers (each from a different team) per lane at any one time.
Drop-In Swimming
One lane will be open throughout the 24-hour event for drop-in swimming. Drop-in swimmers are also encouraged to collect sponsorship on their behalf.
