We need to fundraise each season to keep our Club fees as affordable as possible for Bow Valley families and to keep our Club viable.

Apples! 

Our annual fundraiser with Davison Orchards is back. Order by September 25, with pickup on October 9. Email lindsey@riptides.ca with your order or fill out the form here and email it to Lindsey. 

We ask that each family participate in the fundraising programs outlined below:

Grocery cards – Families are encouraged to purchase a minimum of $200/month of Save-on-Foods gift cards. The club receives 10% back. 

Swim-a-thon – Swim-a-thon is the major fundraising event in which all clubs in Canada participate.  It promotes and finances amateur competitive swimming.  The purpose of Swim-a-thon is to raise money for our club in a marathon swim through obtaining pledges for so much per length swum, or a pre-determined amount. Every Riptide participates in the swim and, while fundraising is not mandatory, it’s encouraged.

Swim Meets – Funds are raised through meet entry fees.  For the 25-26 season, the Club will be hosting one 2 day meet and one novice meet. Parents are needed to volunteer as officials. Training is provided by the club.

Casino – Our next casino fundraiser is in Q2 2027
