Swim as a Team!

Honorary and Memorial Teams

Teams may be formed as corporate, honorary or memorial.  Our honorary teams recognize those who have conquered cancer or those who are currently in treatment.  Our memorial teams remember those who have lost their battle with cancer.

Corporate Teams

Our corprorate teams reperesent the swimmers place of employment. All teams are inspirational and rewarding for all of us involved with Swim Across America.  Through swimming events such as ours, Teams clearly demonstrate our commitment to find a cure. 

Boston businesses have always stepped forward to support Boston residents. In the spirit of corporate citizenship, we are challenging the Boston business community to join the Swim Across America in its fight against cancer.

College and University Conference Teams

Is your college or university part of a conference or league? 

Any student, alumni, or anyone who wants to swim in any SAA event across the country will have their contributions/donations aggregate towards your college conference as a whole but still be able to track their contributions individually or to their college team if they wish.

For more information please email kitty@swimacrossamerica.org

Why Form a Team?

It is more fun to swim with friends and colleagues!

Teammates will motivate each other to train over the summer to be ready for the swim. The team will set a positive, healthy example for friends, family and co-workers.
Fellow employees will rally around the team's fundraising efforts, especially if the team swims in the name of a current or former employee.

Your company may support your fundraising efforts with a financial grant.

If your company has a matching gift program, all the donations from co-workers will be matched, significantly increasing the impact of your fundraising efforts

How it Works

A team consisting of a minimum of 5 swimmers may swim in honor or memory of a loved one or they may be a corporate team. Each team member is expected to raise the fundraising minimum. Some teams wish to include volunteers as members of their team for fundraising purposes.  Swimmers may only swim on one team.

If you wish to organize a team, please register to swim and create a new team. You will have a chance to create a team page on which you can tell your team's story, share photos, and fundraise.
