Fundraising

Our Supporters >>

The Canmore Coho Swim Club, managed by volunteers, has been encouraging and inspiring youth of the Bow Valley for the past 20 years. Over 60 swimmers, between the ages of 6 to 18 from Banff, Canmore and Exshaw, welcome our annual May 1st season start with great enthusiasm year after year. We take great pride in our 80% annual return membership, a clear sign of the success and continued community need for our program. We promote the sport of competitive swimming through regularly scheduled competitions, developing team spirit, sportsmanship, and self-confidence. Our Club goals are to support both competitive and non- competitive swimmers, to teach and develop swimming skills, and to provide a safe and fun social, physical and emotional environment for each swimmer.

We rely heavily on community sponsorship and donations to fund our amateur sport. In trying to keep our Club fees within reach for our Bow Valley families, and to keep our Club viable, we are endeavoring to raise $15,000.00 in this 2011 season through a number of fundraising activities. We are reaching out to our Corporate Partners for a unique opportunity to allow us to recognize your valuable contribution to our Club.

The Town of Canmore has agreed to allow our Club to offer the advertising of our Sponsors LOGOS on a 4 foot x 8 foot sign board on the Canmore Recreation Pool Deck, acknowledging your valued support to the community of Canmore.
