Carmel Swim Club’s signature annual fundraiser for our membership returns May 6-15! Donations during 10 Days of Courage, Perseverance, and Giving are a critical investment in the future of Carmel Swim Club and the development of our athletes. The funds we raise will enhance ALL of our programs, including our essential community-based initiatives, like free swim lessons and waived team dues for children experiencing financial need at the Carmel Swim Academy and Carmel Swim Club.

This year’s event reminds all of us of the JOY of the Olympic Dream. With Olympic Swim Trials set to take place in our backyard this June, we can't help but join in the excitement. During 2024's 10 Days of CPG, our entire program will be reminded that the Olympic motto, Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger) is accessible and an important charge for all of us to push ourselves to pursue our dreams.

On Friday, May 10 from 5-7 PM all CSC and CSA families, as well as the larger central Indiana community, are invited to celebrate the extraordinary legacy of swimming in Carmel. We'll recognize the efforts of our entire team *and* ensure our Olympic Trials qualifiers feel the support of their hometown as they prepare to compete at the hightest echelons of our sport. We'll have a proclamation from the city, food trucks, and more! 

Our whole team swim challenge returns on Saturday, May 11. We invite you to set high goals, push your limits, embrace the challenge, and celebrate with your team during this event!

The fundraising competition this year is better than ever!

1. The first $25 raised by each registered participant will be MATCHED by an anonymous donor.
2. For every $100 you raise, you will be entered into a drawing for a pair of second-row tickets to Olympic Trials. We have a dozen sets of tickets. 
3. The top fundraising training groups (by amount raised AND by percent participation) will earn a popsicle party at practice.
4. The top male and female fundraisers will have the opportunity to serve as a coach for the day for their group. 

There are some super fun prizes on the docket (including waived team support obligations at our highest levels). You can find the list of incentives, including the session order in which we will draw for the Trials tickets HERE.

Your contribution, in any amount, will help ensure the future looks bright across all levels of Carmel Swim Club. Thank you for your support! If you have any questions, please reach out to Maggie Mestrich (mmestrich@carmelswimclub.org, 317-432-6546).
