Island Charity Swim Fundraiser - 90 minute special - Has Ended
DO Details
I will be taking part in the 11km Island Charity Swim this year for the second time. The Island Charity Swim continues today to help raise funds for the children of Currimundi and Nambour Special Schools.
Before this charity was introduced, the P&C were lucky to raise $1000 annually for the schools. However, they now raise in excess of $80,000 – AWESOME. This injection of funds each year has helped to build playgrounds, air condition classrooms, bring new technology into the schools and assist teachers with valuable school supplies.
I will be participating in the swim as an individual leaving the shores of Mudjimba beach, swimming around Old Women Island to finish at Mooloolaba beach. An 11km swim that makes me nervous – but also very excited.
As a participant you are required to raise $1000 (all money going to the local schools).
This year, Ryan and I have put our thinking caps on and have come up with what we think is a GREAT idea and one that you UFIT’ers will love!
Here it is:
1. Find a team of five
2. Register your team. And create a TEAM NAME (we are limited to 10 registered teams). They do not all have to be UFIT members.
3. Your team of 5 will have to
- Keep a spin bike going at all times. Failure to do this, will mean DNF (changeovers of participants may be no more than 1 minute).
- One person will need to be green running at all times
- One person will be needing to participate in the required exercises
(accumulating burpees, pushups, situps etc)
- Two people will always be in rest.
- The winning team will be the one that has accumulated the most green runs and reps in required activities.
- You are in charge of your changeovers, and you work out the strategies.
- The time on the clock – 90 minutes!
So, are you ready to register your team? Come fancy dressed, come ready to win – or just to have a bit of fun at UFIT.
Comment on the event page to regster your team.
List the names participating and your Team name.
Pay to secure your spot at UFIT.
It may not be the fastest team that you think will win - it could all come down to strategy!
The cost: $15 per person!
There will be 50 registered people (along with spectators) We have made this a kids free session (like a normal gym session). However, we are checking with the Kids Club to see if we can utalise the facility for the duration of this event. Once we have finished, children are more than welcome to join in on the after celebration!
