This year's swim marathon will take place January 31 - February 2

Since 1994, our swimmers have embraced the challenge of swimming nonstop for an hour (30 minutes for Greenfish). It's not just a test of physical endurance; it's a journey of personal growth and maturity.

Join our swimmers on their aquatic adventure this year as they not only push their swimming limits but also make a splash for a great cause. It’s swimming with purpose!

By supporting our swimmers with your enthusiasm and financial backing, you're helping the YWCA make a difference in our community.

Funds raised from the annual swim marathon support all aspects of YWCA Evanston/North Shore’s work. This includes:

- Providing healthy aquatic programming for all;

- Offering scholarships/financial aid to those who otherwise would not be able to afford swim lessons or swim team;

- Supporting families who access the YWCA’s domestic violence services, economic advancement and other social justice programs;

- Bringing violence prevention and racial equity programs to schools and other local organizations.
 

Here's how you can participate:

• Support a swimmer directly by contributing to their fundraising goal.
• If you’re a swimmer, you can create your own fundraising page and earn Flying Fish swag as you reach fundraising milestones.
• Share on social media, via email or any way you choose. 

Thank you, swimmers, and thank you to all of you who support the Flying Fish and the YWCA Evanston/North Shore.
