Junior Bisons Swim Team

Project Story

Make waves with the Junior Bisons Swim Team!

Support swimmers in the 2026 Bison-a-thon

The Junior Bisons Swim Team is built on dedication, teamwork, and a shared love of the sport. Every stroke, every lap, and every early morning practice reflects the commitment these young athletes bring to the pool. With every stroke, these young athletes are chasing dreams, building confidence, and showing what teamwork really means.

Behind every swimmer are coaches who dedicate countless hours to helping each athlete reach their potential. Competing at meets — both local and away — is a vital part of their development. These experiences build resilience, confidence, and connection within the larger swimming community.

Through the 2026 Junior Bison-a-thon, each athlete is challenging themselves to raise at least $275 ($200 for Prospects swimmers) to help offset team travel, coaching, and competition expenses. These funds ensure coaches can travel with the team, support athletes poolside, and provide the guidance and expertise that help swimmers perform at their best.

Every gift — whether $25 or $275 — helps our swimmers stay on course and compete with confidence.

Together, your donations will:

Offset travel costs for coaches and competitions
Ensure every swimmer has access to expert coaching at every meet
Support training equipment, including video analysis systems and dryland equipment
Strengthen the team community and support system

Event Information

At Junior Bisons Swimming, we host one annual club fundraiser: the Bison-A-Thon. This event helps raise funds to cover coaching expenses during swim meet weekends — both local and out of town.

During the Bison-A-Thon, swimmers take on a one-hour continuous swim challenge, aiming to complete as many laps as possible. After the event, we total the combined distance swum by all athletes to see just how far the Junior Bisons travelled — together — in one hour!
