Swim a Bridge and Support Lancaster County Swimming!

Join us in June for the John Apple Swim Fund’s annual fundraiser! Our Swim Fund has made remarkable strides over the past 11 years, and now we support not only memorial scholarships and financial aid for competitive swimmers, but also community programs that prioritize swimming lessons and water safety. 

You can be a part of this impactful journey by collecting donations and taking on one of our 6 bridge challenges, spanning distances from 0.5 to 7 miles. Whether you choose to tackle the challenge solo or as part of a relay team, you have the flexibility to do so at your own pool or can join us at Woodridge on June 21. Dive in anytime between 9:00am to 1:00pm, where six lap lanes will be waiting for you!

4 EASY STEPS FOR PARTICIPATING:

1. Download FUNDRAISING FORM and receive pledges
2. REGISTER (only for those swimming at Woodridge on June 21)
3. Complete your swimming challenge
4. Collect donations and submit to the John Apple Swim Fund by July 7.

TEAM OPTION:

VIRTUAL OPTION / SWIM AT YOUR OWN POOL:
Individuals will have the option to swim at their own pool between June 21-28, 2025. After you have completed your challenge, mail the sponsorship form and donations to 487 Letort Road, Millersville, PA 17551.
