Thanks to all those who donated time and money to support this great cause We raised over $3500 for the Wollongong Branch of the Make-A-Wish Foundation!
Dates:
McKeon’s Swim School has a long history of supporting community organisations, charities and events. Each November the Swim School dedicates a week to fundraising for a specific charity. Over the past four years almost $12,000 has been raised in aid of various good causes.
This year we are on supporting the Wollongong Branch of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This organisation aims to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Find out more at http://www.makeawish.org.au
During the week of Monday 14th November – Saturday 19th November we ask you to support our efforts. During that period there will be a sausage sizzle each afternoon and on Saturday morning at Unanderra, while at Towradgi there will be a cake stall. In addition, there will be tins for your spare change at the front counter at each pool. Please dig deep and buy the kids a yummy treat after their lesson with the knowledge that you are helping us support a great cause!

Past Events
MS 24 Hour Mega Swim 2011
The MS Mega Swim is a 24 hour swim-a-thon designed to raise awareness and much needed funds for those suffering with Multiple Sclerosis. There are currently over 20,000 people in Australia that have been diagnosed with the disease, with that figure likely to increase as detection methods become more advanced.
The funds raised go towards the further development of local community scholarships. These scholarships are designed to provide programs and services to local MS sufferers and give them the support they require in order to go about their daily activities.
For more information on the Mega Swim, click here.
McKeon's Swim School entered a team in the 2011 Wollongong Mega Swim, raising over $3600 and swimming over 83km. The combination of these two figures saw us finish the Mega Swim in 3rd place. Thanks go to our team members and supporters!
