For over a decade, the Fall River YMCA "Lightning Swim Team" has hosted their annual Swim-A-Thon. This is an hour long swimming event in which swimmers from our team, ages 7-17, challenge their endurance in the water and swim continuously for an hour.

While the Swim-A-Thon has only been a part of the team for the past 10 years, the Fall River Lightning Swim Team has been a part of the YMCAs story for over 50 years. Please consider donating to our group of young, hardworking swimmers, who show each and every day the embodiment of the YMCAs core values.

All proceeds from this event go directly to the Lightning swimmers to provide them with much needed equipment as well as a banquet at the end of the season to celebrate their achievements. Last years proceeds helped in providing the team with a brand new starting buzzer, equipment bags, and lap counters.
