Tampa Bay Frogman Swim: Sold Out In 20 Minutes
Courtesy of WOWSA, Tampa Bay, Florida.
Among the highest grossing charity swims in the world is the Tampa Bay Frogman Swim in Florida that annually exceeded over US$500,000 in donations* for the Navy SEAL Foundation.
Race directors Rory O’Connor and Kurt Ott knows they will be very busy today. “Our registration opened at 7 am EST this morning: see here. Swimmers can register at www.tampabayfrogman.com. The event date is January 12th 2020.
Help us never leave a man behind. The Tampa Bay Frogman Swim is a 5 km open water swim and fundraiser that supports the Navy SEAL Foundation, a 501(c)(3) with a coveted four star rating by Charity Navigator. 100% of net proceeds go directly to support the mission of the NSF. While US$2,000 is the ideal fundraising goal per swimmer, the majority of swimmers raise over that amount, many raise much more.
If you continue on with registration, we ask that you bring that same effort of fundraising commitment as you could be taking the slot of a swimmer who has every intention of meeting or vastly exceeding that goal. If you’re registering just to set a PR or check off a bucket list item, this may not be the swim for you. THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A SWIM.
Fundraising can be done via the imATHLETE fundraising page, Crowdrise, collecting donations personally or through the “Donate” button on www.tampabayfrogman.com. Our Fundraising Director will contact all swimmers after registration.
Please visit www.navysealfoundation.org to learn more more about this very special cause.”
UPDATE: The Tampa Bay Frogman Swim sold out in less than 20 minutes.
