Collegiate Aquatics Aerobathon
at Central Penn Health & Fitness

THE AEROBATHON SCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY 12 HAS BEEN CANCELED. WE APPRECIATE ALL FEEDBACK PROVIDED DURING THE PLANNING FOR THIS EVENT. WE MAY TRY TO CONDUCT A SIMILAR EVENT IN THE FUTURE

Sunday, February 12, 2012
1:00 - 3:30 p.m.

The aerobathon is open to adults and children. Collegiate members and friends are invited to set their own personal challenge and to be part of this team fundraising activity. The day consists of two separate exercise segments that include a one hour Aqua Zumba exercise segment (ages 8 and older) with a 45 minute land based core or boot camp segment to follow. The land based workout will be for adults only, but families (all ages of children/adults) will have the option to open swim for an hour during this time as well. We will also have raffles and snacks.

We have tickets available for pre purchase which will allow you to sell tickets to family and friends. We will need to know ahead of time how many participants we will have for class formatting and additional life guards. Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for those under 18. E-mail Kim Heck bkatpheck@gmail.com for tickets. She will coordinate payment/ ticket exchange with you at practice.

We will need a small committee of parent volunteers to help check in, gather raffle items and help with a food sign up. Please contact Kim Heck at 474-8078 or bkatpheck@gmail.com ASAP if you are available to help with this event. We will hold a volunteer meeting soon to discuss details.

We hope to see many of our families come and participate. It will be nice for the kids to have some fun play time in the pool as well as our moms and dads getting some great exercise. The cost to hold the event will be low and allow families to receive 100% of the ticket sales towards each families fundraising commitment.
