From the Booster Club

• The team 100 x 100 Challenge is this Friday! We are still in need of 5 lane counters to assist swimmers track their count. Sign up on the swimtopia team site here. We are also giving family and friends a tangible way to support our swimmers and the entire BTW Swim Team. It’s an opportunity for our kids to hype their efforts and help the team. Family and friends can now sponsor swimmers participating in the 100x100 challenge. Any amount is welcome, and the proceeds will be used to purchase team equipment, including 400m counters, stopwatches, and underwater headsets. The swimmer who raises the most money will receive a $150 Amazon gift card. Second place will receive $100, and third place will receive $50. Every swimmer who raises at least $100 will receive a “Get out of 1 Practice Free” pass (redeemable after the State Finals). To count towards the contest, donations must be received by 6:00 PM on December 30th.Donations can be made on the Booster Club website at https://btw-swim-booster-club-inc.square.site/100x100-challenge . If you would prefer to pay via cash or check (made to BTW Swim Booster Club), swimmers can turn in that money in an envelope with their name on it the day of the 100x100. Tax receipts are available on request. Swimmers also received a text with their unique Square link. 
•  Our first restaurant give back event will be at Chipotle on 15th Street on January 17th from 5 - 9 pm. After $150 in sales, BTW Swim will receive 33% of all sales. Please invite family, friends, colleagues so we can maximize sales. Four ways to guarantee our purchases count:
